Biography --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Nova is one of the few Jazz artists in the world who has studied and toured with the two titans of Jazz guitar, Herb Ellis and Joe Pass. Brian has spent many years on the road, with these great men and others, developing and mastering his own unique Jazz guitar and vocal style. But he feels one of his greater accomplishments has been the preservation and expansion of the Seattle Jazz Scene. From 1990-1996, Brian headed up the Jazz Program at Seattle University as the Director of Jazz and Guitar Studies, guiding the younger generation to understand and love Jazz as he does. He has also kept many of the local Seattle Jazz musicians busy through being a central player for booking great Jazz in the Northwest, as well as producing workshops in the area. He has also established eleven new venues which all offer live Jazz today! Brian has released four CD's and has appeared on many others as a
guest artist. Through this busy schedule he still finds time to conduct
clinics, give lessons, and is one of the most sought-after studio
musicians in the Northwest. |
