When it comes to empathy this duet of guitar virtuosi comes close to perfection. Pete Oxley & Nicolas Meier?s roots lie in jazz, but they cover a whole bunch of genres, Latin, Middle Eastern, English pastoral and their own brand of simply music. I can hear, too, a bewildering variety of guitars, both electric and acoustic.
This gig features Pete Oxley, alongside his long-term guitar brother, Nicolas Meier, playing the broadest range of guitar stylings in a set of ?utterly captivating original music? (The Guardian).
Oxley-Meier have recorded 7 CDs together and have performed literally hundreds of concerts across the UK and Europe ? including sell-outs at such diverse venues as Ronnie Scott?s, The Wigmore Hall, Musicport World Music Festival and the Cambridge Folk Festival!
Pete Oxley is well known for his lyrical, compelling compositions; he is one of only a handful of British composers to have pieces included in one of Sher Music?s world-famous ?Real Books?.
Nicolas Meier is one of the most original and brilliant guitarists on the planet (which is why Jeff Beck hired him to be in his band for 3 years of world touring!). Aside from his general virtuosity, he is one of the best exponents of fretless guitar playing anywhere.
The Oxley / Meier Guitar Project
Expect a dazzling display of contemporary fare, ranging from Turkish panache to soundscapes of Latin America to English pastoralism, played on nylon string, steel string, electric, twelve-string, fretless, slide, guitar-synth, glissentar guitars and more! These are two masterly guitarists, although very different in style. The array of changing sounds, moods and textures they create is gorgeous, fascinating and apparently endless. They 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!
