We are delighted to present New York-based guitarist Nir Felder in a trio featuring legendary US drummer Gary Novak (replacing Dan Weiss on the tour). The trio is completed by US bassist Michael Janisch, who is now based in the UK. Nir’s impressive list of credits includes John Mayer, Diana Krall, Snoop Dogg, Brad Mehldau, Snarky Puppy, Esperanza Spalding, Marcus Miller, Chaka Khan, Sam Smith, Vulfpeck, Vijay Iyer, Meghan Trainor, Victor Wooten, Jack DeJohnette, and many others. This is a rare opportunity to experience a world-class guitar master in an intimate club setting.
This gig will take place at The Grasshopper,
139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd, Poole BH14 9HT.
Please note: If parking in either of the car parks at The Grasshopper, you must register your vehicle on one of the dedicated terminals at the bar or in the function room.
Nir Felder has been called “the next big jazz guitarist” (NPR) and a “whiz kid” (The New York Times), fusing jazz, rock, and beyond with a sound that’s both sophisticated and explosive. A Berklee graduate and Jimi Hendrix Award winner, he has collaborated with a staggering range of artists, from jazz icons like Diana Krall and Brad Mehldau to crossover stars like John Mayer, Snarky Puppy, and Snoop Dogg. His albums—Golden Age (Sony), II (Ropeadope), and III (La Reserve, 2024)—have cemented him as a fearless innovator.
Joining Felder is first-call American bassist Michael Janisch (Joe Lovano, Kurt Rosenwinkel), a MOBO-nominated solo artist, producer, and founder of Whirlwind Recordings, now based in London. On drums (replacing Dan Weiss on the tour) is the legendary Gary Novak. Gary has collaborated with numerous artists, including George Benson, Maynard Ferguson, the Chick Corea Elektric Band, Michael McDonald, David Sanborn, Bob Berg, Allan Holdsworth, Robben Ford, Michael Landau, Alanis Morissette, David Crosby, and many others.
