Jazz Friday / Neil Bacher Quartet
The Neil Bacher Quartet – Neil Bacher (guitar), Nick Rosen (piano), Andres Aybar (bass), and Harvel Nakundi (drums) – is presenting Jazz compositions in a free, swinging style which is the result of the vivid interaction of the four musicians. Their acoustic sound quality is focused on transparency, which allows the instruments to blend throughout the full range of dynamics and create a chamber music like atmosphere.
About Neil Bacher
Neil Bacher grew up in Miami where he started to play Jazz guitar professionally at age 17. In the course of his career he played as a sideman for Ira Sullivan, Dolph and Tony Castellano, Stan Getz, Elvin Jones, Bobby Mover, Alice Day, Sandy Patton and many others. He has been living and working back in South Florida since 2000. Neil is currently residing in West Palm Beach and is holding the position of professor for Jazz Guitar, Jazz Guitar Ensembles, and Jazz Combos at Palm Beach State College as well as performing nationally and internationally.
