BopFest Jazz Festival: Nat Steele's NYC/London Quintet

Nat Steele - vibraphone
Colin Oxley - guitar
Michael Weiss - piano
Adam King - bass
Mark Taylor - drums

For this special one-off, UK vibraphonist Nat Steele takes inspiration from guitar/vibes records. It will feature tunes by Wes Montgomery, Buddy Montgomery, Cedar Walton, Charlie Parker, and those by guest NYC pianist Michael Weiss.

Joining Nat in his quintet are guest NYC pianist Michael Weiss, who worked extensively with vibraphonist Buddy Montgomery, and and his regular drummer in New York, Mark Taylor.

Michael Weiss is a world renowned American pianist who has worked with absolutely everyone on the New York scene since he moved there in 1982, including a 15 year association with tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, and much work alongside musicians such as George Coleman, Art Farmer, Slide Hampton, Tom Harrell, Jimmy Heath, Charles McPherson, and Gerry Mulligan.
