vocals/trumpet, piano/guitar, bass, drums - www.neilsengough.com
High quality jazz vocalism is a wonderful
experience and adds an extra dimension to a jazz night's
outing for the joy of any audience. What's more male jazz
singers are a rarity not only in Australia but also
internationally. Neilsen Gough is doing it
beautifully! His voice is like no other - warm, smooth and
sweet like honey gold. His emotional depth and delicate
handling of the lyric and melody is a testimony for the
tradition and beauty of the American standards songbook.
Not since Chet Baker has there been a performer capable of
evoking such sincerity and subtlety, and the fluidity and
warmth of his voice is echoed in his trumpet playing.
Neilsen Gough is one of the coolest jazz cats in Australia
and music lovers around the world are listening.

'No one else in the world can both sing and play the
trumpet as well as Neilsen '- James
Morrison
‘Neilsen is a truly gifted musician whose time
has surely come. His natural lyricism as a singer and
masterful jazz improvisation on trumpet are entwined as
one. His impeccable taste and choice of material make his
music a pleasure to listen to anywhere, anytime’
- Dale Barlow
"a beautiful dream”
With a truly unique voice, the fluidity and warmth of
which are reflected in his highly evocative trumpet
playing, Neilsen plays from his new album ‘A
Beautiful Dream’ – a collection of original
compositions that evoke a similar beauty and melancholy to
the music of both Chet Baker and Antonio Carlos Jobim. With
subtle bossa nova beats and romantic and lyrical melodies,
plus the infusion of some great jazz standards, it’s
music that’s both modern and refreshing - at the same
time recreating all the style and excitement of a classic
era of the hip and the cool. Joining him on stage will be
long time artistic collaborators and personal friends
- Greg Coffin on piano or James Muller on guitar,
Mark Harris on bass and Nic Cecire on drums.
