Musician

Julian Nicholas

Born:

Julian learned clarinet with Nicholas Bucknall at John Roan School, Greenwich from 1976 to 1983, when he went to York University and continued with Alan Hacker. He studied saxophone with Tony Coe, Don Rendell, Bobby Wellins. Julian didn't fit into the critics and promoters templates, necessarily, stylistically gravitating towards African rhythms with Western harmonies in his compositions, as well as the influence of folk music through artists such as John Surman, but he managed to pop up as a mainstream-to-modern freelancer with some of the legendary names of jazz from a very young age, as well as with reggae bands and on garage recordings

Si può solo intuire quale poteva essere l’impatto sul pubblico di una esibizione dal vivo della Brotherhood of Breath, la formazione allestita agli inizi degli anni Settanta da Chris McGregor sulle ceneri degli storici Blue Notes.

Read "Traveling Somewhere" reviewed by AAJ Staff


The story of pianist Chris McGregor's life and music is like that of many creative South African musicians: a tale of trial and redemption. McGregor trained classically in South Africa, playing jazz on the side. After finishing school, he joined with mixed-race bands that prevented him from surviving in the racist South African climate.
