about
Having spent 21 years and attaining worldwide recognition as a founding member and drummer/percussionist for the group Shadowfax, Stu Nevitt has enjoyed a very long and rewarding career. Grammy Award winners in 1988 and nominees in 1992, the band reached sales figures of 250,000 on several of their albums. Their tours found them headlining such venues as Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Red Rocks and The Montreux Jazz Festival. Due to the untimely passing of Chuck Greenberg, the group stopped recording and touring in 1995. Stu is proud to present his first solo project, “The Marion Kind”. It is similar to the Shadowfax style, while expanding on the groundbreaking work of the group. UPDATE Stuart Nevitt, co-founder, composer, and drummer/percussionist of the eclectic band Shadowfax, has died at the age of 56 on Mar. 15 at his home in Rio Rancho, NM, of complications from type 1 diabetes and heart disease. //www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=17683 www.stunevitt.com User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
