Curtis studied at Jackie McLean's Artists Collective school in Hartford, Connecticut.[2] Curtis founded Truth Revolution, a record label that he refers to as "Truth Revolution Recording Collective, a working community of artists".[3] The label issued Andy González's Entre Colegas, which was nominated for a 2017 Grammy Award.[3]

Curtis and his brother, bassist Luques, are part of The Curtis Brothers Band[4] (not to be confused with Michael and Richard Curtis, who also recorded as The Curtis Brothers).[5] Their music is strongly influenced by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers.[2]

The Curtis Brothers Band's first album, Blood, Spirit, Land, Water, Freedom, was followed around 2012 by Completion of Proof.[6] Their album Algorithm, released around 2019, featured trumpeter Brian Lynch, alto saxophonist Donald Harrison, and drummer Ralph Peterson.[4] Zaccai wrote all of the compositions that appear on the recording.[4]
