Nicolas: Jazz Musician in New York

About Nicolas

Nicolas is a jazz musician heard in New York City settings, including sets at Ornithology Jazz Club. His work is shaped by bandstand experience alongside players such as Todd Herbert, Jeremy Manasia, Jason Clotter, Larry Banks, Anthony Pearlman, Brent Lerman, Jules Gardener, and Charlie Lincoln. Recent appearances place him in the small-group tradition, where the material is built in real time through conversation and close listening. The playing favors clarity over spectacle, leaving space for the ensemble to steer the form.
