Reviews

01/03/2003 Greg Murphy JazzRag

"It’s an intense journey, with an emphasis on ensemble rather than individual solos – “collective improvisation”, as guitar merges with saxophone and another pastel takes shape."

01/01/2002 Peter Quinn, Jazzwise Magazine. 3/4

"There is some fine playing in evidence here and plenty of interesting compositional ideas, among other admirable qualities."

01/01/2002 Mark White(Associate Professor of guitar, Berklee College of Music and MMC recording artist

" Nicolas is an excellent guitarist who plays in the fusion/funk-post bop tradition. The Meier Group is an extension of his compositional talents, a great, tight group with a burnin’ young guitarist out front. That’s a combination that’s worth watchin’ out for, so watch out for the Meier Group! " )
