Delighting audiences around the globe with his fiery yet smooth, fluid sound, Nigel Clark has emerged as one of Europe’s premier guitarists, having toured the world as a leader, sideman and accompanist. With the silky sound of the Spanish, nylon-sting guitar, Clark creates a new hybrid in the jazz melting pot, spiced with tinges of flamenco, Brazilian, Indian and other world musics. The lines Clark plays are more akin to Jim Hall or Django in their conception. The result is a true contemporary conception, planted deeply in traditional roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"nitro-offscreen\"\u003eNigel Clark has performed and toured with highly regarded artists such as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarla Bley, Steve Swallow, Jan Akkerman\u003c\/strong\u003e, Spanish guitarist\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXimo Tebar\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as legendary Scottish vocalist\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarol Kidd\u003c\/strong\u003e.
