Jazz Services - A voice for jazz

Word had been out in musician's circles about Nikki Iles since way before she collected the John Dankworth Award for Outstanding Individual at the 1996 British Jazz Awards. By then, as a member of the Creative Jazz Orchestra, she had already shared stages with Kenny Wheeler, Mike Gibbs, Vince Mendoza and Anthony Braxton, as well as composing her celebrated Printmakers Suite for an eight-piece version of that same band. She is a member of quartets led by Tina May, Geoff Simkins and Stan Sulzmann and has worked with most major British jazz musicians on a freelance basis. As a composer she has received many commissions including The London Sinfonietta (Ellington Centenary) and New Perspectives (celebrating the work of Barbara Hepworth). www.nikkiiles.co.uk
