Jazz Concert: Nicki Parrott Quartet

Australian singer and bassist Nicki Parrott is a world class double bassist. 

She got her musical start studying flute and piano, but switched to double bass so she could join her sister's band. Parrott studied at the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music in Sydney, and quickly thereafter began touring and
playing with professional bands across Australia. In 1994, Parrott was awarded an Arts Council of Australia grant to study in New York with acclaimed bassist Rufus Reid.

She became a fixture at the late Les Paul's regular Monday-night session at Iridium Jazz Club. An award-winning composer who's recorded several of her own albums, she has appeared on dozens of records by other artists.
