About
After more than 30 years with the JALC Orchestra, Ted Nash wanted to perform more with his personal projects. Globally recognized as a saxophonist, composer, arranger, and multiple Grammy Award winner, Ted Nash is a world-class soloist and a renowned educator. His style as an instrumentalist is firmly rooted in tradition but also open to a resolutely contemporary modernity, making him one of the strongest saxophone personalities today. The European Quartet, reunited once again, is composed of:
– Olivier Hutman (member of the groups of Christian Escoudé, Eric Lelann, Barney Wilen, film score composer, accompanist for James Moody, Clifford Jordan, Frank Wess, Art Farmer, Clark Terry, Tom Harrell, Roy Hargrove, Peter Bernstein, and many others) on piano,
– Thomas Bramerie (the most in-demand French bassist, accompanist for Dee Dee Bridgewater, member of Stéphane Belmondo's groups) on double bass,
– Jean-Pierre Arnaud (drummer for Johnny Griffin for over 10 years) on drums.
