Nick Meier with The Spin Trio

Nick Meier with The Spin Trio
The Spin Jazz Club Oxford
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.
