UK-based guitarist Nicolas Meier has carved a reputation out as one of the world’s most original and uniquely talented guitarists. Drawing from a love of Turkish, Eastern & Middle Eastern music, Flamenco, Tango and more — all mixed with jazz — Meier’s versatility and musical fluency extends well beyond that, even. (… so much so, that his considerable talents drew the attention of rock guitar legend, Jeff Beck, who made Nicolas a mainstay in The Jeff Beck Group — carrying him on two world tours during the course of the last several years.)
Nicolas Meier World Group’s new album Peaceful which includes the following musicians:
- Demi Garcia on percussion’s
- Kevin Glasgow on bass
- Richard Jones on violin
- Nicolas Meier on all sorts of guitars…
Album Review:
Peaceful (2019)
“A musical journey in nine stages with titles that clearly reflect the different stops. You do not have to look far to find what influences are ‘Besiktas Cafe’, ‘Manzanita Samba “or” Caravan Of Anatolia’. Guitarist Nicolas Meier (Jeff Beck, Vinnie Colaiuta) knows the tricks of the trade in order to streamlined melodies colors with the right “couleur locale”. He also remains a master in the art of framing the boundaries between very accessible jazz and responsible pop with a high degree of virtuosity.”
