Oxley-Meier Guitar Project: Bedales

About

A night of scintillating guitar music, spanning soundscapes from Turkey to Brazil...

“Put simply, for any lover of guitar music - jazz or otherwise - this exhilarating note-perfect journey is probably going to be 2012’s must-have album.”
Jazz Journal International (5-star review)

Pete Oxley, and his longstanding collaborator, Nick Meier come to Bedales amidst a 20+ date British and tour for the dynamic duo.

“Don’t fall into the trap of assuming that this is something exclusively for guitar buffs, or even jazz buffs. If you love music of any kind you’ll probably fall for this.”
The Observer ★★★★

Pete Oxley
Pete began his musical career in Paris before relocating to the UK in 1997. Shortly afterwards he opened The Spin jazz club in Oxford which in 2012 won the Parliamentary jazz award as ‘The Best Jazz Venue In The UK’. Pete regularly performs with some of the world’s leading jazz artists including Chris Garrick, Gilad Atzmon, Tim Whitehead, Dave O’Higgins, Bobby Wellins, John Etheridge and his own band Curious Paradise. He has now released 12 critically acclaimed CDs featuring his original compositions. 

Nicolas Meier
With his unique style that is a blend of Metheny-esque jazz and Turkish inspired world music, Nick has toured extensively around the world with his band the Meier Group, sharing the bill with some of the biggest names in jazz including Bill Evans and Brad Mehldau. Nick is currently guitarist in guitar supremo, Jeff Beck’s band and this tour is wedged between forays with the Jeff Beck band to Europe and the USA!

The Oxley-Meier guitar duo aim to entertain by playing with a spontaneity and an intuitive interplay between them that keeps them fresh and fired up from gig to gig. The duo therefore comes to the performance with what they hope are the audience’s anticipations: to expect the unexpected!
