Description
Nigel is at the top of his game, creating improvisations that reveal fresh contours at every turn, without self-indulgence and where less is often more.
Nigel Clark has emerged as one of Europe's top guitarists. The Scottish native has worked with some of the biggest names in jazz and pop throughout the last 15 years and has toured the world as a leader, sideman and accompanist. The Spanish nylon string guitar is unusual in mainstream jazz, but the lines Clark plays are more akin to Jim Hall or Django Reinhardt in their conception. Blended with the silky sound of the nylon strings and spiced with tinges of flamenco, Brazilian, Indian and other world music, Clark creates a new hybrid in the jazz melting pot. The result is a truly contemporary conception that is planted deeply in traditional roots.
Nigel has performed with Carla Bley and Steve Swallow at the Glasgow International Jazz Festival, now a champion of that festival. Another lasting musical connection was made with legendary Scottish vocalist Carol Kidd, recording many albums and touring the Far East extensively with her. In 1997, he appeared with Jan Akkerman and Spanish guitarist Ximo Tebar at the North Sea Jazz Festival. Later that same year, in Cannes, Nigel performed with Akkerman and Norwegian Terje Rypdal, and separately with a big band that featured 11 guitarists!
