Musician Information
THE NINA BECK TRIO features vocalist, ANDY COWAN, an award-winning writer/performer (Seinfeld, rd Rock From the Sun, Cheers) whose natural command of the classic songbook AND lyrics separates him from the other pretenders to the throne. This Who's Who in America biographee has graced jazz clubs and special events throughout Los Angeles (and radio and TV) for over two decades, his youthful appearance notwithstanding. For powerful, non-derivative and naturally classy interpretations, straight-ahead and Latin jazz, unique scatting, parodies and originals, and even a blues rendition of an Oscar-winning Dylan tune, audiences seek out this group and keep coming back for more. They're not just a Sinatra tribute band. They're a classic songbook/jazz band that makes the music their own. Andy's original country blues tune, Hitchin' on the Highway of Life, has won five international songwriting nods and is featured in the film he wrote and appears in, "Knocked Down," an official selection in the San Fernando Valley International Film Festival, as well as the upcoming Michael Madsen action film, "Hired Gun."
Nina Beck's keyboard prowess has been likened to world-renowned artists Diana Krall, Kenny Barron, and Marian MacPartland. A seasoned player/songwriter and veteran of major venues throughout Los Angeles, she's accompanied such greats as jazz and blues legendary vocalist Ernie Andrews.

Their basic configuration of top flight musicians - keyboard, bass, drums, vocals - can be augmented with sax/flute.
