ABOUT NICK MACLEAN
Based in Toronto NICK MACLEAN is the winner of 8 'Gold' Global Music Awards as well as a Toronto Independent Music Award, and has quickly become a piano player in high demand in that city’s bustling jazz scene. Nick holds a Bachelors of Music from Humber College and a Masters of Jazz Performance from the University of Toronto where he studied with some of Canada's leading jazz musicians including David Restivo, Bernie Senensky, Nancy Walker, David Occhipinti, Andrew Downing, Chris Donnelly, and David Braid.

Maclean leads two multi award-winning ensembles, the hard-swinging NYC-style jazz ensemble the NICK MACLEAN QUARTET - a foursome that delivers jazz between the two poles of thoughtful introspection and powerhouse conveyance, taking influences from Herbie Hancock’s primordial 1960’s Blue Note era recordings - and the groove-based, electric jazz project SNAGGLE - a fearlessly muscular yet introspective group likened to a cross between 'electric-era Miles Davis' and 'Rage Against The Machine'. Both groups have released multi-award winning albums and with them Nick has toured right across Canada as well as internationally, performing for countless audiences as well as running jazz improvisation workshops for students and listeners eager to learn more about the artform. Maclean also presents a SOLO PIANO project which delves into a reflective and soul-searching realm of expression, taking influences from jazz piano legends like Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and Brad Mehldau, as well as that of his two divergent ensembles, to perform originals, standards, and other spontaneous contemplations - all delivered in the moment. From Miles Davis & Herbie Hancock to Weather Report & Snarky Puppy, Maclean’s musical influences are diverse.

A protege of "Canada's pre-eminent jazz trumpet player" (NYC Village Voice) the highly decorated BROWNMAN ALI (GURU, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Quincy Jones), Nick has studied and performed extensively with the internationally acclaimed jazz-trumpet iconoclast and features him in both of his ensembles. Maclean and Brownman have become collaborative partners across numerous musical endeavours and Maclean is signed to Brownman's NYC-based jazz record label BROWNTASAURAS RECORDS, an independent record label widely regarded as a vanguard for Canadian, forward-thinking jazz. The future is bright for this young visionary as he continues his upward ascent in jazz artforms of all shapes and sizes.
