Description
With a career spanning more than 25 years, the award-winning jazz guitarist has become widely acknowledged as one of the hardest working musicians in the business.Musically, Nigel's blend of flowing bebop lines, deep blues sensibility and his mastery of chording continue to delight audiences and fellow musicians alike. His career highlights include a support show for Gladys Knight at The Royal Albert Hall and an appearance on Van Morrison's recent album, Keep Me Singing.Starting his professional career in his early 20s, Nigel toured Europe with various reggae and funk bands before settling on a solo guitar career and turning his attention to jazz.
Citing early influences as Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Nigel honed his craft by attending gigs and sitting in with the players of the time. He has played on more than 50 albums including seven as a leader, spent 10 years with acid jazz outfit The Filthy Six, was a member of James Taylor's band, JTQ, for three years (with whom he recorded five albums) and performed with the legendary David Axelrod. Nigel has also taught at The International Guitar Foundation at King's Place, London.Nigel has worked tirelessly to organise his own tours (including a 56-date tour in late 2016 and an extensive tour in 2020, even with COVID-19) and has picked up a Parliamentary Jazz Award (Best Jazz Ensemble, 2010), a nomination for a British Jazz Award (Best Guitarist, 2014) and a British Jazz Award (Best Guitarist, 2016) along the way.
Nigel is a regular performer at London's Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club where he has made more than 500 appearances.Concerning Wes Reimagined, Nigel's upcoming release, he explains, "I make no secret of the fact that I'm a big Wes Montgomery fan. Who isn't? I've found his compositions to be great vehicles, especially used in the organ trio format. I couldn't wish to have a better or more exciting team than Ross Stanley and Joel Barford to help me convey this material.
