International jazz artist Nicki Parrott is coming to Beechmont for one concert only.
The Australian born musician has been on the International jazz circuit for 30 years, including 10 years performing with music legend Les Paul.
For those who know their electric guitars Les Paul will be well known – he is credited with making the sound of American Rock and Roll possible with his unique solid body electric guitar and recording innovations such as overdubbing and multi-track recording.
Nicki did a ten year stint as bassist and vocalist in the guitar legend’s band prior to his passing in 2009.
She has also performed at most of the world’s top jazz venues and festivals including ‘The Jazz Cruise’ and sold out performances at Birdland and Dizzy’s in New York.
Nicki sings like an angel and swings effortlessly on the double bass at the same time.
She has headlined in New York, Japan and Europe and recorded many albums – check her latest CD ‘If you could read my mind’ on Arbors.
Now living back in Australia she has put together a band with the most talented Northern Rivers musicians.
Those who love musicianship and improvisation will be delighted by the performance of Steve Russell (keyboards), Dave Sanders (drums) and Martha Baartz (saxophones and flute).
Nicki’s show features well known jazz standards and popular songs delivered in her own impressive style.
Grab your chance to see a world class concert and support live entertainment in the Scenic Rim.
