Before dedicating herself to jazz and improvisation, Nina trained classically as a pianist, earning a scholarship and degree in classical piano performance. A love for improvisation and jazz lead her to change her musical course and move to the east coast to be closer to the center of jazz music. She very frequently attended live shows in Boston and NYC hearing masters such as Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Hank Jones, Mulgrew Miller, Tony Williams, Billy Higgins, Cedar Walton and Herbie Hancock. These musicians remain essential influences for her to this day.
Nina eventually moved to Chicago for a few years playing as a house pianist at the Green Mill Midnight Jam Session where she met the top jazz players. In Chicago she did steady solo piano work as well as working in clubs with musicians such as George Fludas, Jeff Parker, Robert Barry, John Whitfield, Pat Mallinger, Ari Brown, Red Holt and many more.
Latin Jazz and Salsa came into Nina’s life while living in Providence RI when she had the opportunity to play in trumpeter Carlos De Leon’s band. To learn the rhythms, Nina studied percussion and the music became an important piece of her musical life. She has since played with John Calloway, Louis Romero, Jesus Pagan Orchestra and currently leads her own Latin/Funk Collective, Descargadelic.
"Cape Symphony Presents" is an eclectic showcase of world-class music that transcends genres, shares stories, and brings people together at venues across the Cape and Islands.
