West by Northwest brought together at The Nash Jazz Club four highly acclaimed artists who have performed worldwide with a who’s who of jazz. The band’s live performance embraced jazz’ past, present, and future, with a great chemistry and an adventurous, hard-swinging style.
Trumpet master Jason Carder (Yanni, Maria Schneider, Ray Charles, Woody Herman), pianist Angelo Versace (Take 6, Jon Faddis, Slide Hampton), and the swinging rhythm team of Tom Wakeling (Lee Konitz, James Moody, Mel Torme), and Dom Moio (Clark Terry, Herb Ellis, Ahmad Jamal) join forces only a handful of times each year to perform as West by Northwest. Their time together on the bandstand is always a musical highlight of the year, both for them and for their audiences!
