2017 saw him record an album in New York with bassist Curtis Lundy and legendary drummer Victor Lewis. The album, ‘The Removalist’ showcases Ross’ love of the acoustic trio format and features original material along with sleek interpretations of classic jazz standards. Ross’ love of the jazz greats like Oscar Peterson, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and Bill Evans shines through in his playing as he artfully interprets jazz, R & B, funk and Latin classics and creates heartfelt and musically sophisticated arrangements. Ross’ performances take you on an exciting journey as he improvises and creates on the spot, taking the music to new places and building anticipation of where you might end up.
Ross’ jazz trio includes bassist Peter Walters and drummer Trent Bryson-Dean. These three individuals have extensive experience and are some of Australia’s most gifted ‘first-call’ musicians. The Ross Nixon Trio’s blend of brilliant musicianship, creativity, feel and improvisation continues to impress audiences wherever they play.
