official website - myspace page

Neil C. Young is a Jazz Guitarist from the UK who blends a wide variety of influences and styles from Be-bop to bossa with a hint of his Rock roots. Compositions and arrangements with a Trio as its vehicle, the music has always the solo Jazz Guitar at its heart. From subtle arrangements for Guitar quintet to power trio bop tunes, the mix of pieces has a richness of variety and texture that mirrors the different moods and feel each piece has to offer.
Neil C. Young is now currently playing on 'The Local Cafe' at www.mvyradio.com and has just been included on the Tin Records New Music Series 2007 Compilation CD. In March 2006 ,signed a digital distribution and publishing agreement signed with INgrooves in San Francisco and recently had airtime on XND Radio and Radio 365. Was voted number 1 in June by visitors to Jazzworldquest.com. Currently working with Sara Lowes (Sara Lowes Band / The Earlies) to produce a co-written EP.
Studied guitar with Gary Boyle between 1990-92 and then onto study with Fred T. Baker between 1992-96 at the Birmingham Conservatoire (UK).These studies led into the fields of composition and arranging especially with regard to Jazz and Classical music.
After leaving the Conservatoire, formed the Ofay Jazz Quintet playing original arrangements of jazz standards and leading the Ofay Big Band which used original compositions alongside the arrangements now embedded into the repertoire. In 1999, joined forces with Sam Dale (The Big Mojito, Deep Cabaret) and Richard Young (The Earlies, Indo Jazz Fusions) to form Rokasayers, a Hard Jazz Rock Fusion power trio. Over a 5 year period they repeatedly wrote and performed to high critical acclaim.
Regular performances have taken place since 2000 with The Latin Committee and with other performances with artists such as Gary Boyle (Isotope, Mike Westbrook), Barnaby Dickinson (trombone - Tim Garland, Jamie Cullum) and Steve Tromans (Indo Jazz Fusions, De-Bop, Howl, Mongolian Jazz Academy) and being a regular session musician for The Music Factory Entertainment Group (Jive Bunny). Combine this educational and performance background with the attention to detail in composition and practice and there is music that is produced by using a real combination of expression and technique.
