Nikki Iles Jazz Orchestra

Award-winning pianist and composer, Nikki Iles takes her 20-piece Jazz Orchestra on a national tour, marking a new chapter in a long and distinguished career in British jazz. She gathers commissions from over the years, new orchestrations of her own small band tunes and new compositions, all played by the remarkable band she has assembled. The depth and range of the exhilarating writing and arranging illustrate Nikki’s seasoned hand and distinctive voice, with the music bought to vivid life by a top-drawer band.
