NILS

Caught in the Groove (Baja/TSR)

The cool title of Nils’ latest BAJA/TSR album says it all about his studio and onstage state of mind. 15 years after riding his #1 hit “Pacific Coast Highway” into contemporary jazz history as Billboard’s Song of the Decade 2001-2010, the relentlessly prolific composer, guitarist and producer remains joyfully Caught in the Groove, creating instantly infectious, sonically adventurous tracks for himself and numerous artists eager to vibe with the energy of his Midas touch. His 2014 “Best of Nils” album could easily be called “The Best of Contemporary Jazz” for the impact these tracks have had on this radio format.
