Description
Steve Nieve – Keyboard Jungle – Vinyl Record
Keyboard Jungle is an instrumental album by English musician Steve Nieve, known primarily for his work as the keyboardist for the rock band Elvis Costello & The Attractions. The album was released in 1983.
Keyboard Jungle is an exploration of various keyboard-driven musical styles, ranging from jazz to classical to avant-garde. The album showcases Steve Nieve’s virtuosity on the keyboard and his ability to create intricate and diverse compositions.
In between touring and recording commitments with the Attractions, Nieve did session work with numerous other fellow new-wavers, including Nick Lowe, Kirsty MacColl, Madness, the Damned, Tim Finn, Nick Heyward, Hothouse Flowers, Graham Parker, and Squeeze who hired Nieve as their touring keyboardist in the early ’90s. Nieve also teamed with ex-Attractions drummer Pete Thomas in the house band for Jonathan Ross’ BBC talk show.
Through it all, Nieve continued to work off and on with Costello, more frequently than most of Costello’s old associates. During the latter half of the ’90s, their continued compatibility reached a new level on a series of acclaimed duo concert tours. Costello revisited the breadth of his enormous catalog with only Nieve’s elegant, multi-hued playing for accompaniment.
While Nieve is best known for his collaborations with Elvis Costello, Keyboard Jungle provided him with an opportunity to step into the spotlight as a solo artist and highlight his skills as a keyboardist and composer. The album received favorable reviews from music critics and has been appreciated by fans of keyboard-driven music and instrumental compositions.
Keyboard Jungle is a testament to Steve Nieve’s talent and versatility as a musician, offering listeners a captivating journey through a musical landscape rich with keyboard textures and melodies.
