The Ted Nash Trio featuring Ben Allison and Pete McCann

Ted Nash Trio feat Ben Allison and Pete McCann

Two-time Grammy winner Ted Nash has that uncanny ability to mix freedom with substance, blues with intellect, and risk-taking with clarity. He is a co-founder of the New York-based Jazz Composers Collective, a musician-run, non-profit innovative entity dedicated to presenting the original works of composers pushing the boundaries of their self-expression. Nash is also a long-standing member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, with Wynton Marsalis.

“Excellence in jazz is all about the freedom to musically explore with an open mind and heart to ultimately find one's voice...Ted Nash achieves that plateau of performance.” -Billboard Magazine

In a career that spans over 35 years, bassist, composer, producer and educator Ben Allison has developed his own instantly identifiable sound. Known for his inspired arrangements, inventive grooves and hummable melodies, Ben draws from the jazz tradition and a range of influences from rock and folk to 20th century and a broad range of music from around the world, seamlessly blending them into a cinematic, cohesive whole.

Jazz guitarist Pete McCann has been an integral part of the New York City jazz scene for over 30 years. He recently released Without Question, his seventh recording as a leader. A sought-after sideman from duos to big bands, with a unique and wide-ranging set of musical skills, McCann has played guitar on over 100 CDs.  Pete has performed in every type of venue from jazz clubs to jazz festivals, schools to concert halls and even Carnegie Hall. He has traveled to more than 20 countries and has played in almost every state in the USA.
