Anton Schwartz & Josh Nelson: Acclaimed Sax & Piano Jazz Duo

Anton Schwartz and Josh Nelson have toured the U.S. and Canada with the award-winning Anton Schwartz Quintet, the 2017 Northwest Acoustic Jazz Ensemble of the Year. Following one sold-out festival performance, they decided to play a pared-down duo concert, and the chemistry was palpable. Every now and then, they reassemble as a duo, to the delight of audiences, performing jazz standards and their own compositions.
 
FEATURING:
Anton Schwartz – saxophone
Josh Nelson – piano
 
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Anton Schwartz, a Bay Area favorite now based in Seattle, has earned a national name for his big tone and his smart and soulful compositions and improvisations. Over the past two decades, Schwartz has performed at the most prestigious jazz clubs and festivals, from the Blue Note and Dizzy’s (NYC) and Yoshi’s (Oakland) to the Regatabar (Boston), Blues Alley (DC), and the Monterey Jazz Festival. Each of his five albums as a leader has drawn sterling reviews and strong airplay; his most recent release, Flash Mob, earned a four-star DownBeat review and a long run on the jazz radio Top 10 chart.

Josh Nelson is without a doubt one of the most in-demand pianists on the Los Angeles jazz scene. He has performed extensively with many of the most respected names in jazz, including Natalie Cole, Anthony Wilson, Benny Golson, Sheila Jordan, Jeff Hamilton, John Clayton, Richard Galliano, Dave Koz, Seamus Blake, Matt Wilson, Sara Gazarek, Jack Sheldon, Tom Scott, and Peter Erskine. Nelson has recorded on countless albums, films, and television, and has released five acclaimed records of his own.
