Mike Nock Trio

From 1961 to 1985 Mike Nock lived in the U.S., recording and touring with many of the world’s top jazz artists. Nock first came to wide international attention through his group The Fourth Way in the late 1960s. Since his return to Australia, Nock has made enormous contributions in fostering the next generation of musicians at the University of Sydney Conservatorium and is increasingly recognized as a creative force in contemporary music through his many innovative projects, compositions and recordings. Mike Nock won the Australian Jazz Awards’ Graeme Bell Hall of Fame Award in 2009. Mike Nock’s current trio has been together for several years and features the outstanding talents of bassist Ben Waples and drummer James Waples.
