About
Nick is a remarkably accomplished guitarist whose range encompasses the full spectrum from flamenco and classical to jazz and rock and is not only a dazzling soloist but also an intuitive and creative rhythm player. His playing style is technically highly adept but always innovative and appropriate to its musical context, whether on acoustic, electric or MIDI instruments. Nick grew up in Scotland, where he established a formidable reputation as a virtuoso guitarist, composer, teacher and sessioneer.
Nick has also just released a solo album called "Solo?" In which the Mad Scotsman plays all the instruments himself. All on guitar! Even the Violas, drums, whooshes and gongs, using modern Midi guitar technology and a "wee computer".
As well as 3 original works (2 of which use a small orchestra) there are also re-interpretations of some classic classics like Chopins' Nocturne in Eb, Paganinis' 24th Caprice and (the outrageous) the Flight of the Bumble Bee by Rimsky-Korsakov. You have to hear it (then double check it by listening to it again), to believe it!
The CD is available online from CDunsigned.com and CDbaby.com. For more details, audio delights and 'interesting' pictures visit Nicks website, www.nickandrew.net.
