Member of the Wynton Marsalis Quintet!! Nimmer has Performed with Cassandra Wilson, Norah Jones, & Jimmy Cobb!
With prodigious technique and innate sense of swing, his playing often recalls that of his own heroes, specifically Oscar Peterson, Wynton Kelly, Erroll Garner and Art Tatum. As a young man, Mr. Nimmer's family inherited a piano and he started playing by ear; he was, if you will, "called" by the instrument. Soon, he asked his parents for some piano lessons.
Mr. Nimmer decided to leave school following his second year and make the big move to New York City where he immediately emerged into the New York scene. After being in New York for about a year, playing with many different musicians, Mr. Nimmer got a recommendation to play in Wynton Marsalis' band. In 2005, Wynton heard him and hired him to become a member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and the Wynton Marsalis Quintet, both in which he has been member ever since. In addition to Wynton Marsalis, Mr. Nimmer has performed and or recorded with Jimmy Cobb, Norah Jones, Dianne Reeves, George Benson, Frank Wess, Clark Terry, Tom Jones, Willie Nelson, Jimmy Heath, Jon Faddis, Cassandra Wilson, Benny Golson, Lewis Nash, Peter Washington, Ed Thigpen, Wes "Warmdaddy" Anderson, Fareed Haque and many more.
