One of the most popular jazz musicians in Japan today, Nicki Parrott’s latest release from Venus Records is a gorgeous collection of romantic standards. The star-studded band includes her frequent collaborators-Harry Allen on tenor sax, her sister Lisa on alto sax, John Di Martino on piano-and, this time, Chuck Redd on vibraphone who adds a distinctive tonal color to the collective sound.
Nicki Parrott is simply one of the best singers around these days. With hints of Peggy Lee lingering in her voice, Nicki has a wonderful jazz feeling to everything that she sings. In addition, she is a first tier bassist. Having the likes of John DiMartino, Harry Allen and Chuck Redd backing her is an embarrassment of riches. In another musical age, this lady would be a major star. In the world of good music she already is a star.
