The Oxley-Meier Guitar Project has continued to be highly productive: Following nearly 100 concerts on the back of their 2022 album, ‘The Alluring Ascent’, they have now released an album of brand-new, original pieces in their quartet format. This is ‘Mercurial Indigo’.

On the album, Pete and Nick have continued to use many varying types of guitars: Fretless 11-string (Glissentar), acoustic and electric 12-strings, slide, 7-string nylon, sitar guitar, fretless guitar, jazz guitars etc..

The Oxley-Meier Guitar project began working in earnest, following their second release in 2015, ‘Chasing Tales’, which was supported by three tours, totaling 90 dates. Pete and Nick then toured the UK and Europe a further three times, promoting ‘The Colours of Time’ and then, ‘The Alluring Ascent’, also performing at several major jazz and world-music festivals over this period.

Tonight they appear as a quartet featuring the incredible rhythm section of Andy Hamill (acoustic & electric basses – and chromatic harmonica!) and Paul Cavaciuti (drums).

Headline quotes about their previous albums: “This album is a wonderful example of the high level of music that can be made by combining two great guitarists/composers/improvisers such as Pete and Nicolas. They have put together a feast of virtuosity, delivered with depth, wit and joy” ~ Ralph Towner (Oregon etc.)

“When it comes to empathy, this duet of guitar virtuosi comes close to perfection” – The Observer

“Not just a guitar album to love, a jazz album to savour but a joyous album of music that reaches toward a goal beyond” – Jazzwise

“These two resourceful maestros reach out to a wide audience” – The Guardian
