Nikki Iles won the British Jazz Award for piano in 2017, and The Ivors Academy Gold Badge 2019
Multi-award-winning jazz pianist and composer, Nikki Iles, was a founder member of the innovative Creative Jazz Orchestra. She has a busy freelance career, with over 25 CDs recorded over three decades, and has been described as the Heroine of British Jazz. Composition remains a major part of her musical life with commissions from The London Sinfonietta, the International Society of Jazz Composers and Arrangers, and The National Youth Jazz Orchestra. With a parallel career as a much loved and respected teacher, Nikki is also Professor of Jazz Piano at the Royal Academy of Music and The Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Her recent awards include the Ivors Academy Gold Badge for exceptional contribution to music (2019), the Jazz Education award, and The Parliamentary Jazz Award (2019), as well as Jazz Ensemble of the Year for the Nikki Iles Big Band in the Parliamentary Jazz Awards (2020).
An authentic jazz sound can be easily created using Nikki's notated
rhythms, grooves, harmonies and solos, and the expertise of the
arranger guides players through the diversity of jazz characters.
These stylish arrangements and compositions are the perfect
introduction to jazz.
