Clovis Nicolas at Smalls Jazz Club

Clovis Nicolas shows the two sides of his music personality on his new recording, The Contrapuntist. There is the jazz honed contrabassist that regularly drives the rhythm sections for some of New York’s best bands. But there is also the classically trained composer who focuses on making beautiful written music through voice-leading and counterpoint. These two sides mirror one another fantastically.

Clovis Nicolas shows the two sides of his music personality on his new recording, The Contrapuntist. There is the jazz honed contrabassist that regularly drives the rhythm sections for some of New York’s best bands. But there is also the classically trained composer who focuses on making beautiful written music through voice-leading and counterpoint. These two sides mirror one another fantastically. 

Clovis Nicolas montre les 2 faces de sa personalité musicale avec son nouvel album, The Contrapuntist. Il y a le contrebassiste de jazz qui conduit réhulièrement les sections rythmiques des plus meilleurs groupes de New York. Il y a aussi le compositeur de formation classique qui se concentre sur l'écriture d'une musique raffinée à travers la recherche mélodique et le contrepoint. Les deux faces de ce miroir se reflètent magnifiquement ici.
