"It’s jazz at the intersection of gypsy, flamenco, rock and the Middle East, and it works really well." - Jazz Views
“Meier’s scintillating playing on assorted fretted and fretless guitars is sometimes reminiscent of Metheny or McLaughlin, but with a highly melodic, pan-Mediterranean eclecticism of his own . . . ” - The Scotsman
". . . the passion he has for his unique meld of Turkish, Balkan and jazz modes make his gigs a vibrant experience." - Jazzwise
Previously here in 2024 with fellow guitarist Pete Oxley, UK-based Nicolas Meier has carved a reputation as one of the world's most original and uniquely talented guitarists.
Drawing from a love of Turkish, Eastern, and Middle Eastern music, flamenco, tango, and more — all mixed with jazz — Nicolas' versatility and musical fluency extend far beyond these influences. His considerable talents drew the attention of rock guitar legend Jeff Beck, who made him a mainstay in his group and took him on two world tours.
Having made a lasting impression on the legendary Bill Bruford, the aforementioned Jeff Beck, and Steve Vai, Nicolas is unquestionably one of today's most well-rounded, ambitious and masterful talents on guitar.
