About Nico :
"For more than a decade, the Parisian jazz scene has been blessed with a musician of a rare kind : bass player, composer and band leader Nico Moreaux. Throughout a string of records alongside the who's-who of contemporary jazz in France - Pierre Perchaud, Olivier Boge, Tony Paeleman, Tigran Hamasyan - he slowly earned the reputation of a bass player to be heard, and more important felt"
-drummer and arranger Phillipe Maniez

About his record ‘Fall Somewhere’:

“It has some of the richest melodies to hit my ears lately, and while they make statements that are exquisitely memorable, their wealth is derived in how they’re developed over the course of songs rather than from their immediate impact (which is substantial). Most tracks possess a dreamy presence, and drift languidly from first note to last, rarely breaking their spell, even those times when the pulse rate rises.“
