Called “the next big jazz guitarist” by NPR and hailed by the New York Times as a “whiz kid”, Nir Felder is a new voice in jazz guitar. Felder spent his youth playing in rock bands while learning about jazz at the local record store, inspired by icons from John Coltrane to Jimi Hendrix. Felder moved to New York City in 2006 and quickly became one of the city’s most highly sought after sideman, performing and recording with an eclectic group of luminaries in jazz and other genres including Diana Krall, Erykah Badu, Brad Mehldau, John Mayer, Ben Platt (the Netflix special “Live at Radio City Music Hall”), Chaka Khan, Common, Anderson Paak, Dave Chapelle, Dave Matthews Band, Terri Lyne Carrington (the Grammy-winning album “Money Jungle”), Vijay Iyer, Jack DeJohnette, Meshell Ndegeocello, Dianne Reeves, the New York City Opera, and many others on tour throughout six continents and at venues including Radio City Music Hall and the Village Vanguard and national television stations NBC, ABC, CBS, ESPN, and Fox (Good Morning America, the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the US Open and many more). Seeking a more personal creative outlet, Felder first formed his own quartet in 2010, recording the critically acclaimed debut “Golden Age” (Sony/OKeh), called “lyrical and lofty” by The New York Times, “mesmerizing” by The Boston Globe, and “mindboggling” by All About Jazz. Six years after the release of Golden Age, Felder's latest project is a set of two trio recordings featuring bassist Matt Penman and drummer Jimmy Macbride. Using the studio as an instrument and the latest in sound design technology the result is a layered music that blends jazz improvisation with other genres in new ways and stretches the boundaries of what a jazz record is and can be.

Now and Then" is Brooklyn's newest INDOOR/OUTDOOR venue with an amazing Sound System, an outdoor patio, delicious food and full bar. Every seat in the house is a perfect seat with a view of the bandstand.
