EFG London Jazz Fest - Nikki Iles featuring the NDR Bigband at Cadogan Hall

About

As "Composer in Residence" of the NDR Bigband in 2023, the British pianist, composer and bandleader Nikki Iles reflects on the limits of perfection and the desire for the spontaneous and unfinished with her program "A Love of Imperfect Things"; a theme that is also constantly present in jazz. Nikki Iles was a participant in the competition for composers and arrangers of the NDR Big Band and the first collaboration was so inspiring that the ensemble decided to invite her as "Composer in Residence" for 2023.
