Featuring saxophone, flute, percussion, piano, bass and drums, New World Jazz Project performs groove-oriented original compositions and nouveau arrangements of American standards in styles ranging from adult contemporary to bebop and beyond. Led by Niall McGuinness, New World Jazz Project features some of the best players in the Reno/Tahoe area, delivering their soulful sound on a backdrop of Latin and Afro-jazz rhythms. Cutting his Latin jazz teeth in Miami, Florida, Niall graduated from University of Miami’s School of Music, immersing himself in the rhythms and sounds of Afro-Cuban music; his ample use of many hand percussion instruments is a reflection of that strong cultural influence The New World Jazz Project continues to carry the banner of America’s indigenous and ever-evolving musical art form through their many recordings, some tunes of which have recently been placed on national television and film. Niall McGuinness and New World Jazz Project beckon you to join them on their musical journey.
