Nicki Parrott Trio
Friday 23 February from 8:30pm to 10:30pm
Nicki Parrott is a world-renowned double bassist and jazz vocalist returning to Australia after nearly 30 years.
Nicki was bassist and vocalist for the legendary Les Paul for over 10 years, in addition to performing at most of the world’s top jazz venues and festivals including The Jazz Cruise, and to sold-out performances at Birdland and Dizzy’s in NYC.
She has recorded over two dozen vocal records for Venus Records (Japan), Arbors Records (USA), and Ooroo Records (USA/AU).
Nicki’s latest vocal/bass CD, If You Could Read My Mind, (Arbors Records), is a retrospective look at her favorite pop songs from the 60s and 70s. Her follow-up release, Feelin’ Groovy (Arbors Records) will dig a little deeper into the archive and will drop in early 2024.
