nu jazz guitar

joe nickerson is an award winning composer of chamber music with university honors and published and recorded compositions but above all he is a jazz musician. he played with among others, woody shaw, jon hendricks, julian priester and mike nock in his formative years but now says "I'm no longer a classic cover tune or mainstream jazz artist, rather a musician who believes in world music as trane did.. seeking to blend many genres into a fresh style of jazz." along with 2 nu jazz CDs displaying his individual style of guitar mastery, joe's currently working hard on mastering the saxophone and hopes to display that as well one day.

on the groovy disk are 3 of joe's strong original nu jazz songs.. one listen will show you his guitar artistry.. funk, jazz and metal/hard rock are all linked together and joe's lyrics will tell you the story.. ENJOY!
