About Us
The Nice Work Jazz Combo is a jazz group based in Boulder, Colorado. Their style is rooted in mid-century modern jazz, with original arrangements of jazz classics and deep cuts including swing, ballads, funk, Bossa-Nova, and Afro-Cuban. They have been featured in live performances on KUVO jazz radio, were awarded a Pathways To Jazz grant to record a recently released CD, have performed at Denver's Five Point Jazz Festival, and members have been featured on KUVO's Local Musician Spotlight. The NWJC typically plays at jazz clubs, wine bars, weddings, and corporate parties. They most frequently play as a piano trio , instrumental quartet, or a quintet with vocals.
The Nice Work is a proud recipient of the Pathways to Jazz Grant. Over the years we've been building up a songbook of original arrangements, now we've recorded them and put them on our album called the Pathways Sessions. Thank you Pathways!
