Saxophonist, bandleader, composer and educator Nicole Glover brings her trio to the Jazz Gallery for the first time. The trio hass performed in NYC and internationally for the last few years and has recorded an album to be released in early 2024. They will be performing songs from that upcoming release as well as brand new material to be premiered for the first time at the Gallery.
Nicole is based in New York City and has established herself as a rising star and a musician in great demand. Her most recent solo recording is Strange Lands (Savant), with the venerable pianist George Cables. The London Times awarded the album 4 stars, calling it “otherworldly.” It remained near the top of the Jazzweek radio charts for 11 weeks. Nicole is also an integral member of the supergroup ARTEMIS. In May 2023, the collective released their 2nd recording, In Real Time on Blue Note Records.
Growing up in Portland, Oregon, Nicole was a student of the American Music Program and a member of the Next Generation Jazz Orchestra: both programs dedicated to priming students for a career in jazz. In 2009, she moved east to attend the jazz program at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey. There, she studied with pianists Harold Mabern, Mulgrew Miller and tenor saxophonist Rich Perry.
Currently, Nicole is a member of an exciting new quintet led by bassist Christian McBride, and she performs often with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. She has worked with drummers Al Foster, Victor Lewis and Kenny Washington, Grammy award winning vocalists Dee Dee Bridgewater and Buika, saxophonist Rudresh Manhanthappa, vibraphonist Joel Ross, and pianists Geoffrey Keezer, Luis Perdomo, and George Colligan among others. She recently performed Mary Lou Williams’ “Zodiac Suite” with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the musical direction of pianist Aaron Diehl.
An experienced educator, Nicole is teaches at Manhattan School of Music, Princeton University, and San Francisco Conservatory of Music. She is a passionate teacher, and has given many masterclasses and private lessons to aspiring musicians all over the globe.
