I still remember the first time I arrived in New York City… I was 14 years old and got off the bus at Lincoln Center, for the Essentially Ellington Competition in 2003! As a new-comer to the city, I was inundated by the pure rush of energy and excitement of being in that environment! Just a few hours later, I was playing for Wynton Marsalis in Alice Tully Hall… it was a truly magical day…
Fast forward to the summer of 2015 when I found myself subbing in the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra for the wonderful trombonist Elliot Mason! Just one of many full-circle moments I’ve been lucky enough to experience as a young musician…
Now as I enter the next stage of my career, committed to preserving, presenting, and expanding the tradition of this music and the heroes of my instrument (like JJ Johnson, Curtis Fuller, and Slide Hampton) I’m thrilled to invite you to help to build that legacy, together! Subscribing to Nick Finzer Exclusive will fund all of the activities that make this genre so great: masterclasses with young musicians, live streams, tours, albums, and videos. It will be an essential element in allowing us to continue to build the legacy of, and protect our music!
As a thank you for your vision and support, you’ll gain access to a unique & private feed where I’ll post behind-the-scenes photos, videos, unreleased concerts (audio and/or video), messages from the road, masterclasses, “bootleg” recordings from various gigs. This provides a real “insider’s” perspective on the life and career of a musician in today’s industry, the situations and relationships that make this life so special, and much more…
