Nic Meier (Album Launch)
UK-based Swiss guitarist Nicolas Meier is an established star on the British jazz scene. A recipient of numerous awards he earned a scholarship to Boston's illustrious Berklee College of Music before settling on London as the perfect fulcrum between the US and Europe. His versatility and musical fluency drew the attention of guitar legend Jeff Beck, who for two world tours during the last several years has made Nicolas a mainstay of The Jeff Beck Group. Tonight, featuring Richard Jones-violin, Demi Garcia-percussion and Kevin Glasgow-bass, Nicolas and the band will play music from their latest album "Magnificent". Nicolas describes the music as his signature mix of “modern jazz with Balkan, south American, Turkish, oriental and flamenco influences”. Very special music played by some very special musicians.
“…strong in terms of melody and sophistication…[the] music…was technically dazzling and genuinely exciting” The Jazz Mann
