Recorded at Riverside Studio in Torino on December 10, 2018.
Steve Nelson is an American vibraphonist, and has been a member of Dave Holland's Quintet and Big Band for over a decade. He graduated from Rutgers University with both master's and bachelor's degrees in music, and his teaching activities have included a position at Princeton University. He has appeared at concerts and festivals worldwide and has made recordings as the leader of his own group. As a resident of the New York City area he has performed and recorded with many musicians, including Kenny Barron, Bobby Watson, Mulgrew Miller, David "Fathead" Newman, Johnny Griffin, and Jackie McLean.
Nelson performs with Massimo Farao' (piano), Aldo Zunino (bass) and Byron "Wookie" Landham (drums) on this set that includes "Dexterity", "Monk's Dream", "Watch What Happens", and of course, "Jitterbug Waltz."
They are the pinnacle of modern jazz vibraphone quartets, further evolving the M.J.Q. style and playing standard songs more swingingly and beautifully!
