Jim Nazzstix
The Jim Nazzstix concept is newish, the idea of the music has been taking it's natural course, as music
has always done automatically through time. It's the idea of fusing styles of music into one,
the rest just comes from the heart to the fingers generated by the influences of your musical
schooling and exposure.
I try to mix Swing/R&B/Rockabilly/Bebop/Country plus what ever else is spontaneous and that's where the
Jim Nazzstix thing comes in as Fretboard/String & Finger Jimnazzstix (so to speak) add to the equation.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Later......
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, small venues where we can whip up a storm.
Your musical influences
I first started listening as a serious guitarist to Carlos Santana & Al Demiola then guys like Ian Moss from Cold Chisel & Dave Dobbyn
Then l discovered Brian Setzer and what he was trying to do with roots RocknRoll then l moved away to my own style and onwards from there to R&B/RocknRoll/Swing/Jazz/Rockabilly a mixture of influences.
What equipment do you use?
A collection of acoustic guitars, electric semi-acoustic Ibanez & Gretsch, solid body Fender strat and strat copy's.
I use Line 6 & Fender amps in stereo where possible.
l use Protools recording equipment.
Anything else?
I'd like to thank the man who invented electricity.
