Jazz
Nicki Parrott-bass, vocals, Rossano Sportiello-piano
"Bassist Nicki Parrott and pianist Rossano Sportiello have stepped to the forefront and formed a musical partnership that keeps the melody squarely in focus while creating an atmosphere of intimate instrumental interplay. If you bemoan the passing of exquisite sessions that combine artfully played swing with tender ballads in a romantic setting, prepare yourself for a decidedly international take on that all too rare listening experience. Think of the chemistry on those early Oscar Petersen/Ray Brown duo meetings, with a tender twist, and you will have a sense of this session."
