The Nick Hempton Quartet
Our Jazz & Blues Showcase presents this season's final fall show on Sunday, November 10th. It features the soulful, blues playing of saxophone sensation NICK HEMPTON. Well-known jazz musicians included in his quartet are organist PAT BIANCHI, guitarist CHARLIE SIGLER & drummer JASON TIEMANN.
Hempton was influenced by saxophone icons Dexter Gordon, Gene Ammons & Sonny Stitt as a youngster growing up in Australia. They became the driving force in his desire for a career in jazz and an opportunity to continue the music of those jazz legends. He believed the best way to achieve that goal was to relocate to New York, the hotbed of jazz in the U.S. He made that move in 2004, while still in his twenties.
The superb professional resume Hempton's earned since then proved his decision was right. He worked to establish himself as a fixture in NY's jazz scene performing with jazz stalwarts Roy Hargrove, Victor Lewis, Larry Willis, Peter Bernstein, Joe Magnarelli, and Jerry Weldon, among others. As his popularity grew, demand for his playing also did and opportunities at important jazz venues in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia & back in Australia opened for him. He continues performing worldwide in 2024, while also adding more recordings to his resume.
