Nicolas Meier World Group – presented by the North Devon Jazz Club

JAZZ GUITAR MAESTRO RETURNS TO THE BEAVER

Swiss jazz guitar maestro Nicolas Meier pays another visit to North Devon Jazz Club at The Beaver, Appledore on 5 October with his band the Nicolas Meier World Group.

A firm favourite with the Club’s regulars Nicolas will be including pieces from his latest album, Elysian Drift, drawing on influences ranging from Turkish and Middle Eastern styles to tango, flamenco, blues …and more.
To quote Jazzwise Magazine ‘The choir of guitars he employs lend him an almost unique voice, especially as he favours fretless instruments that allow him to explore micro- tones, blends, slurs and sudden runs that dazzle and delight.’

Joining Nicolas will be Alex Hutton on keyboard and Demi Garcia Sabat on percussion.

Meier has recorded and played with Jeff Beck and Bill Bruford amongst many others, and has released several albums under his own name. Loads more information and tasters of his music on his website.

The gig is presented by the North Devon Jazz Club. Keep up the good work NDJC. There is no entrance fee, however a collection is taken for the band.
