NAT STEELE vibraphone

Allison Neale’s beautifully crafted lines evoke the spirit of Paul Desmond and Art Pepper. Nat Steele is a cutting-edge virtuoso on the vibraphone, his playing lyrical, melodic and harmonically adventurous, but always with a focus on driving swing. They form a close-knit team, through their common passion for bebop and West Coast jazz.
