The Muneer Nasser Quintet

Muneer Nasser Quintet's distinct brand of jazz is part Memphis blues, part New York fire, and a healthy dose of DC flavor. Born in 1967 to the late great jazz bassist Jamil Nasser, Muneer's exposure to jazz was early and powerful. Muneer says that in 1976 "my dad took me to see Dizzy Gillespie at the Village Gate and Dizzy blew the place apart. I had to get a trumpet and weeks later I did." After graduating from high school, he attended Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he played with Paul Jeffrey and gigged at churches and cultural venues around town. He transferred to Howard University and graduated with a BBA in International Business.
While in Washington, DC, he performed at the Lincoln Theater, Bohemian Caverns, Westminster Church, Takoma Station, Cafe Nema, The Kennedy Center, and Twins Jazz. After graduation, his skills took him all over the world.
In addition to teaching jazz improvisation at the University of Maryland, Nasser's passion and knowledge of jazz history are evident in educational forums he has held at the University of the District of Columbia, Howard University, Berklee College of music. Always interested in a wide variety of musical styles, Muneer has written and recorded over 200 reggae, jazz, rock, EDM, Rap, and R&B compositions.
