Nick Marziani
DownBeat Award-winning saxophonist and Philadelphia native Nick Marziani is a rising force in today’s music scene. Drawing inspiration from all sides of his musical upbringing, Nick’s songs combine the soulfulness and colors of jazz with the upbeat grooves of dance, pop and R&B music. Influenced by the improvisational prowess of Michael Brecker to the funky grooves of Grover Washington, Jr., Nick’s playing brings a fresh, unique perspective to the saxophone in the Philly and New York jazz scenes. Nick has led his quintet at the legendary Chris’ Jazz Cafe in Philadelphia, and renowned NYC jazz clubs ShapeShifter Lab and The Bar Next Door, having also played the Apollo Theater, Kennedy Center, Kimmel Center, Harriet Tubman Freedom Music Festival, Westylvania Jazz Festival, Burlington Jazz Festival, and more as an in-demand sideman. Nick has shared the stage with jazz legends Wycliffe Gordon, Ingrid Jensen, and more. *Band consists of QUINTET (Sax, E Guitar, E Bass, Synth, Drumset)
