7:00 PM SPECIAL EVENT: Steve Wilson/Lewis Nash Duo at The Nash

TWO SHOWS: 7:00 & 9:15 PM. “Musical Dialogue.” Steve Wilson / Lewis Nash Duo have been playing for diverse audiences and presenters since their debut in July of 2001. The two had been talking about forming this duo, so they seized upon an opportunity to perform at Jazz at the Loft at Quilty’s in the SoHo district of NYC. It was magic from the first notes. Encouraged by the initial response and to grow their audience Steve and Lewis went on to perform several times at Sweet Rhythm (formerly Sweet Basil) in NYC, on a duo series that club owner James Brown presented. One engagement that bears a special mention is the Duo’s performance at Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild in Pittsburgh, PA in March of 2013...

TWO SHOWS: 7:00 & 9:15 PM. “Musical Dialogue.” Steve Wilson / Lewis Nash Duo have been playing for diverse audiences and presenters since their debut in July of 2001. The two had been talking about forming this duo, so they seized upon an opportunity to perform at Jazz at the Loft at Quilty’s in the SoHo district of NYC. It was magic from the first notes. Encouraged by the initial response and to grow their audience Steve and Lewis went on to perform several times at Sweet Rhythm (formerly Sweet Basil) in NYC, on a duo series that club owner James Brown presented. One engagement that bears a special mention is the Duo’s performance at Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild in Pittsburgh, PA in March of 2013. MCG Jazz Executive Producer, Marty Ashby, knowing both Steve and Lewis individually, said he, “could only imagine what they would be together.” Ashby readily agreed to present the Duo on the MCG Jazz concert season and make a live recording. Wilson and Nash are very proud that their debut recording is on MCG Jazz, and are very grateful that Marty took this major step with them. “There are only a select few musicians that have the musicianship and historical context to sustain a full program with just sax and drums.” Ashby goes on to say, “Working with Lewis and Steve on this unique project fits perfectly with the mission of MCG Jazz to showcase and bring the finest Jazz Music to the public eye.” Their performances, which display great musicality and artistry, playfulness, and a deep understanding of the history of the music, plus the vast experiences they have had in their long, storied careers, that make every tune they play a new adventure. It’s an exciting, journey that wins audiences over every time. Wilson and Nash always exceed expectations and audiences wonder at how much music just two people can create. As Bob Karlovits of the Pittsburgh Tribune Review has said: these two “…players really don’t need anyone else around them.” 7:00 TICKETS: Tier 1: $50 (Tier 1 seats are at 2-top tables); Tier 2: $47; Tier 3: $42; Students: $16.80 (Use code “student” at checkout). 9:15 TICKETS: Tier 1: $50 (Tier 1 seats are at 2-top tables); Tier 2: $47; Tier 3: $42; Students: $16.80 (Use code “student” at checkout)
