"Derek Nash is one of the most versatile saxophonists in the UK today."

John Fordham, The Guardian

Performing original compositions and unique arrangements of jazz classics, the Derek Nash Acoustic  quartet features some of the best exponents of jazz in the UK - David Newton (multi-award winning pianist), Geoff Gascoyne (bass) and Sebastiaan de Krom (drums) whose work together has encompassed Jamie Cullum and Michel Legrand. 

Their CD ‘Joyriding’ won the British Jazz Award for Best CD in 2012.

Their album 'You’ve got to Dig It to Dig It, You Dig?' received a 5-star review in 'The Guardian' - "To get some idea of the sheer breadth of his accomplishment as a saxophonist, composer and bandleader, you should hear this. From smooth cool to groovy funk, to ingeniously recast standards, to one quite gorgeous ballad, the music fizzes with energy, even at its most restrained"
