Steve
Nelson
"...the most completely realized and original performer on the vibraphone." Ted Panken
Beyond this Place
Nominated for a 2025 Grammy Award: "Kenny Barron's sparkling quintet featuring one of the most gifted and synergistic groups that Barron has led yet. Featuring bassist Kiyoshi Kitagawa and drummer Johnathan Blake, along with the nonpareil vibraphonist Steve Nelson."
"Veteran vibraphonist Steve Nelson...got into music in a very fateful kind of way. One day he was with one of his buddies, hanging out in his friend's basement, and there was a vibraphone there. Nelson recalls, "His father played vibes and it just so happened that this one time when we were down there, his dad came down and was playing 'Days of Wine and Roses'. I knew from that moment on that was what I wanted to do.""
