Featuring some of the very best of the UK jazz scene mixed with players of a similar pedigree from the UK folk\/Trad scene, Nigel promises an interesting blend of the two genres. \n\n\"My idea is to create a project fusing the Celtic folk style (instruments such as fiddle\/accordion) with jazz rhythm section. I hope the compositions will reflect both genres equally, showcasing the talents of folk musicians while giving ample space for improvisation. Although I have been a jazz\/studio musician for my entire career I now live on Skye and wish to showcase the talents I have met in Scotland in the last 5 years with the great players I have always associated with on the jazz scene in London. I feel there is something new and special to add to this field of music, and it should appeal to listeners of all styles.\"\n\nHere's hoping!\n\n\"destined to be a worldwide jazz star\" Don Mather\n\nwww.skyejazzfestival.com<p><small>Date: 24\/10\/09<br\/><\/small><small>Start Time: 20:00:00<br\/><\/small><small>Venue: Sabhal M\u00f2r Ostaig, An Talla Mh\u00f2r<br\/><\/small><small>Audience Numbers: 50<br\/><\/small><small>Type: Music Jazz<br\/><\/small><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-447","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/447\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
