I compose, arrange, play guitars, bass, keyboards, rap, sing.. I just do my thing.. I played in the well known SF bay area fusion band CLOUDS in the 70s.. and before the days of all this bling I spent 2 years in the late 70s with THE DAVID LA FLAMME BAND touring the states.. sex drugs rock and roll.. had it all.. EVERYTHING.. but I wouldn't trade for what I got now.. my own way.. my own music.. my own thing.. an award winning composer of chamber music with university honors and published and recorded compositions, I am a jazz musician.. I've played with, among others, woody shaw, jon hendricks, julian priester and mike nock.. I'm no longer a classic cover tune or mainstream jazz artist, rather a jazz musician who believes in world music as trane did.. seeking to blend many genres into a fresh and innovative style of jazz.. after many years on the axe I've finally done 2 CDs showing my style.. RAPSTER GUITARS IT.. 15 original songs and collabs featuring syntopia, redeyeC, margot du bois, TLT50, big daddy cee and brian mattson.. and RAPSTER GUITARS IT.. 2 with 12 original songs and collabs.. order here direct:   http://cdbaby.com/all/rapster thanks for your interest in my music :-) joe nickerson aka rapster aka nicky quick.. you can hear most of my 100+ songs on www.soundclick.com/rapster.. http://www.myspace.com/rapstermusic : http://www.indiemusicworks.com/rapster
