"A glowingly lyrical player, who never plays two notes when one will do"

-Chris May (All About Jazz)

Andrew Nixon is an accomplished jazz pianist and composer whose music has been broadcast on jazz radio stations around the country and the world. After several years

of playing keyboards in rock and blues bands, he began studying jazz with pianist / composer Paul Hofmann, and later earned a masters degree in music theory from the

State University of New York at Buﬀalo, where he also studied classical piano and composition. In addition to performing, composing, recording and mixing, Nixon

teaches privately to a full roster of 40+ students. His first two jazz trio albums of original compositions with the group Nixon, Croft and Goretti have garnered critical acclaim:

“Nixon’s composing is as seemingly eﬀortless as his playing, which makes light of what are often quite complex tunes.” Chris May (All About Jazz)

“Apart from composing, (Andrew) Nixon is a stand out pianist who swings like the long gone greats but still lives in the present” (BebopSpokenHere).

Andrew is also a contributing author to the sound, audio and music production website waveinformer.com
