A cover of the golden 70's Billboard Greatests hit's masterpieces with a new sense of Nikki jazz style. Venus Records' signature singer / bassist, Nicki Parrott's latest work! Nikki's charm is in full bloom! (Neil Young, Carly Simon, Elton John, Carole King, Chicago, Boz Scaggs, Roberta Flack, Paul McCartney, Gilbert O'Sullivan, John Lennon, Rickie Lee Jones, Neil Sedaka, Beezies , Stevie Wonder).
Celebrated as an instrumentalist and a vocalist, Australian artist Nicki Parrott has earned acclaim as one of the most engaging talents to emerge on the jazz scene in the 21st century. Born in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia in 1970, Parrott had a precocious talent for music, first learning to play the piano when she was four years old. She would become proficient on piano and flute, but when her sister Lisa, who plays saxophone, was looking for a bassist for her jazz combo, Nicki took up the double bass, and fell in love with the instrument. At the age of 16, Parrott earned a scholarship to attend the Pan Pacific Music Camps, and after completing high school, she relocated to Sydney to enroll at the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music. Parrott was soon performing with a number of leading Australian jazz musicians (including Mike Nock, Paul Grabowski, and Dale Barlow), as well as American artists Chuck Findley and Bobby Shew. In 1994, Parrott left Australia for New York City thanks to an Arts Council grant, and she began studying bass with Rufus Reid. In 2000, Parrott landed an especially prestigious gig -- she became bassist with Les Paul's combo for the legendary guitarist's weekly performances at the Manhattan jazz spot Iridium. Paul became her mentor, and encouraged her as a vocalist as well as a bassist. (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/nicki-parrott-mn0000108314/biography)

Great 70's
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kiken!
DeleteThanks Giullia for sharing this one.
ReplyDeleteThank you Newlyner!
DeleteDeeply mainstream, with too much slow songs. Very few jazzy shadows here, except for Lotta Love and the Stevie Wonder classic. But I dig Laughter in the rain, done in a delicate way.
ReplyDeleteOk Mario B! Thank You!
DeleteEvery new Nicki Parrott is an event. Many thanks for posting this Guillia. Sadly the material she sings here is disappointing, not much jazz here.
ReplyDeleteYes Ol'baz, Thank you as always!
DeleteOne of my favorite singers. Thank so much, Giullia. Best regards.
ReplyDeleteHey Juan Manuel, Thank you!
