Nicolas Meier Group: Silence Talks

Silence Talks is the latest and most eloquent musical statement from guitarist Nicolas Meier and his band.

This dialogue and empathy shines through every note of this, their third, album together as Meier's increasingly confident compositions provide a natural launch point for some dazzling investigations of his own unique eastern-flecked jazz.
