Australian singer and bassist Nicki Parrott is one of the leading exponents of classic mainstream jazz. After almost two decades on the New York jazz scene and in the house rhythm section of the Iridium jazz club, where she worked with Les Paul, Paul McCartney and Jose Feliciano, Parrott embarked on a solo career that has taken her around the world. On May 10, she will present her new tour program "Singing and Swinging" at Porgy& Bess together with Frank Roberscheuten, Herbert Swoboda and Martin Breinschmid.
