Houston Person

The audience could not have picked a better way to get in the mood for Valentine’s Day than an evening with “boss tenor man” Houston Person, aided by the extraordinary trio of Mike Kocour on piano, Chris Finet on bass and Lewis Nash on drums at The Nash Jazz Club.

Houston Person specializes in making music that is uplifting with strong recognizable melodies that make you feel happy and want to dance. His relaxed style is reminiscent of the great Ben Webster. Houston is known for his long-time association with legendary vocalist Etta Jones as well as more than 75 albums as bandleader. He is known as the patriarch of The Jazz Cruise on which he has performed every year since its maiden voyage in 2000.

Nicki Parrott Trio

Nicki could make anyone love jazz! Jazz bassist / vocalist Nicki Parrott, loves old pop songs with good lyrics and melodies so decided to put them to good use at The Nash Jazz club with Chris Grasso - piano and Lewis Nash - drums. Born in Newcastle, Australia, Nicki started her musical training at age four with the piano, followed by the flute, soon after Nicki switched to double bass at the age of 15. “...A rarity, a first-class bassist whose playing is as sublime as her vocals.” - LIMELIGHT

On the evening: Nicki Parrott - bass / vocals, Chris Grasso - piano and Lewis Nash - drums.
