Nikki lles

[Guest che]

I am a great fan of UK pianist Nikki lles, I have many of her recordings and I think she is a real talent. Sometimes she reminds me of Bill Evans, but she has a very distinctive style.

Anyone familier with her music>

I somehow doubt whether Nikki Iles will mean a thing on this board, Andy. I'm not sure she has a profile ouside of the UK.

Having seen her a number of times I'll count myself as an admirer. A beautiful CD from a couple of years back ('Veils' with Stan Sulzmann and Chris Biscoe) and a lovely trio CD from 2004. She also plays with Tina May - a very nice CD from about 6 or 7 years back.

There are supposed to be recordings with Tony Coe and Norma Winstone in the pipeline.

I first came across her playing piano in a Mike Gibbs orchestra in the early 90s.

I seem to recall we talked once about the album 'Veils', which as you suggest is a very fine album,. Nikki seems to play with a lot of people, including Martin Speake and Duncan Hopkins.

Her album "Evertything I Love" is very good album, in which she interprets some of her fave jazz standards.

Thanks

I second that recommendation on 'jazzcds', evan. A great source of UK jazz. If you value the health of your wallet, stay clear of the Kenny Wheeler section though.. B-)
