Nick Meier with The Spin Trio

Event: Nick Meier with The Spin Trio
Venue: The Spin Jazz Club Oxford
Date: 26 Jan 2012 - 21:00
Event details: Just probably Switzerland’s finest guitarist, Nic is a phenomenal player; his trademark sound, a mixture of Metheny-esque jazz, and spicy Turkish and world music rhythms is thoroughly unique and quite mesmerising. Meier’s music is rooted in his love of playing jazz on acoustic guitar, especially his Godin nylon string guitar. It’s a sound that lends itself especially to flamenco and middle-eastern music and it’s all these influences and more that Meier has so brilliantly fused together in his music. He also plays fretless acoustic guitar, which sounds something like a cross between an acoustic guitar and the oud (an Arabic stringed instrument) and the Saz, a traditional Turkish instrument.

Snake Davis with The Spin Trio

Event: Snake Davis with The Spin Trio
Venue: The Spin Jazz Club Oxford
Date: 2 Feb 2012 - 21:00
Event details: Expect saxophonic fireworks from one of the great, and without doubt, one of the most recorded of British saxophonists. Snake has always managed to combine technical flair with r’n’b passion and stands comparison with the great soul/jazz artists such as David Sanborn, Grover Washington and Wilton Felder (The Jazz Crusaders). His blues inflected sound has earned him those high profile gigs with the likes of Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Soul II Soul, Chaka Khan and of course Motorhead. You will have also heard him on recordings with Cher, M People and Paul McCartney and if you like going to the cinema, you may well have heard his playing on scores of scores eg Sting, Richard Niles, Dave Stewart etc etc.
