Steve Nelson Jazz Quartet - Easy Living (2017) [Japan 2018] SACD ISO + DSD64 + Hi-Res FLAC

Steve Nelson is an American vibraphonist, and has been a member of Dave Holland's Quintet and Big Band for over a decade. He graduated from Rutgers University with both Master's and Bachelor's degrees in music, and his teaching activities have included a position at Princeton University. He has appeared at concerts and festivals worldwide and has made recordings as the leader of his own group. As a resident of the New York City area he has performed and recorded with many musicians, including Kenny Barron, Bobby Watson, Mulgrew Miller, David "Fathead" Newman, Johnny Griffin, and Jackie McLean.

Vibist Steve Nelson is in a slightly different setting here than on some of his other recent records — running through a set of familiar standards in a laid back way, yet still handling them with that remarkably bold strike on the vibes that always makes his music so unique! The group's got a nicely warm vibe — Massimo Farao on piano, Aldo Zunino on bass, and Byron Landham on drums — and although Farao gets in some nice solos, Nelson's clearly the main attraction — as he makes these tunes explode with chromatic hues, but in an easygoing way!
