The NICE Jazz Trio

The NICE Jazz Trio is a quiet blending of vibes, jazz guitar and acoustic bass that delivers interesting and satisfying sound to listeners in a variety of sophisticated performance veunes. Known for its delicate presentation of song form standards and established jazz themes, the NJT's music is appreciated for its easy-on-the-ears approach. Appearing at wineries, fine restaurants, coffee houses, country clubs and special events across northern Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, the Trio maintains a busy performance schedule. The ensemble was honored to be nominated as Best Jazz Act in the 2000 Cleveland Music Awards. The NICE sound was first documented on it's initial recording, "Introducing The NICE Jazz Quartet"(#NJT-010) several years ago. The group's sound is also captured on its excellent CD, "Nice, Very"(#NJT-1) which print critics called a highly recommended disc of straightahead jazz at its technical and warm best. The Trio's third recording, "Nice, Too"(#NJT-110) features playing with passion, precision and empathy according to reviews. This disc includes NICE arrangements of wonderful music by Jimmy VanHeusen, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Johnny Mercer, Lerner and Lane, Louis Bonfa, Jerome Kern and others. During 2005, the highly-regarded "Nice And Welch"(#NJT-324) recording was released introducing the warm and satisfying blend of trio and voice together. Look for these fine compact discs in the music department of Barnes and Noble Booksellers, Borders Books and Music, and Joseph-Beth Booksellers. The NICE Jazz Trio has enjoyed performance opportunities at Playhouse Square Center, WEWS Television, Blossom Music Center, Jacobs Field, NightTown Restaurant and the Tri-C Jazz Fest. The NICE sound has been included on radio stations WCPN-FM, WKHR-FM, WCLV-FM, WRMR-AM, WJTB-AM and PRI's "Jazz After Hours". Thank you for your interest in the quiet sound of The NICE Jazz Trio.
