joe nickerson is an award winning composer of chamber music with university honors and published and recorded compositions but above all he is a jazz musician. he played with among others, woody shaw, jon hendricks, julian priester and mike nock in his formative years but now says "I'm no longer a classic cover tune or mainstream jazz artist, rather a musician who believes in world music as trane did.. seeking to blend many genres into a fresh style of jazz." along with 2 nu jazz CDs displaying his individual style of guitar mastery, joe's currently working hard on mastering the saxophone and hopes to display that as well one day.
