	Jazz/Jerry Jazz Musician/Naxos Jazz President Mike Nock interview
		NOCK: Saxophonist Sam Rivers for his passionate and open approach to music-making, drummer Tony Williams for his originality and ability to hear the music in it’s totality and singer Dionne Warwick for her close attention to every aspect of musical nuance.
		NOCK: I met Klaus Heymann around the time he started the previous Naxos/Jazz label which had several problems, which is why I was invited to be musical director for the label in its present form.
		NOCK: This used to be the case to some extent, but with rising CD costs and the wide variety of music in many label’s catalogues I don’t think this is so true anymore.

	86019-2 MIKE NOCK QUINTET: OZBOPPIN' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Mike Nock may be small and wiry, but there is no doubting his stature as one of the giants of the Australian jazz scene.
		Talking to Mike, you always get the sense that the most satisfying record of his career is the one that he’s about to make; the most inspired gig of his life just might be the next one that he plays.
		As a bandleader, Mike knows the value of positive reinforcement; but at the same time, he doesn’t believe in ego-stroking, or dodging the hard truths that sometimes need to be told when musicians sit down to discuss what just happened on the stand.

	Mike Nock Ondas CD Jazz, Blues, Raggae ECM
		At the time of this recording, Mike Nock was one of the great, unsung pianists in European jazz, his elegant phrasing and wildly inventive melodicism fly in the face of all notions that claim improvisation must be outside Western musical parameters and structures.
		On Ondas, Nock has assembled a rhythm section that, while never having played together before shared the ability to create the bedrock, however flexible, for the artist's crystalline compositions and solos.
		Evidence is on the title track and "Land of the Long White Clouds." For his part, Nock is a magician of lyrical invention.

	Mike Nock - Marty Ehrlich \| The Waiting Game (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Along with the skillful and ever-resourceful pianist Mike Nock (who is also the artistic director for NAXOS jazz), the duo cover a variety of themes and ideas yet for the most part, The Waiting Game is a light-hearted, spirited and satisfyingly entertaining engagement.
		On the other hand, Nock contrasts Ehrlich well, as an accompanist and shrewd soloist who also possesses a distinctive style featuring odd-metered voicings along with a seemingly strong kinship to the blues and traditional swing.
		Nock also displays his expertise as a stride pianist on James P. Johnson’s peppery, “Snowy Morning Blues”.

	Mike Nock's Bigsmallband \| Live
		Interestingly enough, with Nock's complex and multi-hued compositions, it is the sole non-Nock piece that may be the recording's highlight.
		After breaking down into an a capella section by Nock, Toby Hall's abstract drum solo leads into a somewhat funky irregular-meter groove that is peppered with shots from the rhythm section, introducing a lengthy solo by trumpeter Simon Sweeney that displays elements of Kenny Wheeler, albeit less melancholy in tone.
		Unpredictable yet accessible, Live is a high point in Nock's career, a recording that presents all his qualities in rich profile: compelling writing, an intuitive strength as an accompanist and soloist, and a broader sense of equality within the ensemble.

	Mike Nock, Changing Seasons
		Born in New Zealand in 1940, pianist Mike Nock has pursued a varied and successful career split between the States and Australia; Coda’s readers may know him among other things for his savvy curation of the Naxos Jazz series.
		Nock’s approach to improvising is curiously weighted: sometimes his solos are more background than foreground, as if he were happy simply to colour in the chords at length (on “Black Is the Colour,” for example).
		And once the ear is drawn to those chords further problems arise: though Nock seems a capable technician, his left hand perpetually hugs the chords, with little change of emphasis or harmony.

		In the former piece, Pratt uses an interesting hocket-like technique, in which a melodic line is shared by several performers, each playing portions of that line, alternating with another musician so that while one plays the other is silent.
		In addition, the group is joined by Dale Barlow on tenor saxophone, Mike Nock on piano and Chad Wackerman on drum kit.
		The track clocks in at 20:53 and in that period of almost twenty-one minutes it takes the listener on a fantastic journey as the musicians both soar and dig deep down with technical and improvisational chops that constantly amaze.
