Despite being pumped full of classical music from an early age, Nigel Kennedy has always had an instinct for playing jazz. Inspired by a visit from jazz fiddler Stephane Grappelli whilst just a young pupil at Yehudi Menuhin School in Surrey, Nigel has forever been open to the instrument’s wider potential.
Kennedy’s new double album, named in typically idiosyncratic fashion ‘A Very Nice Album’, marks his boldest excursion into jazz so far. His previous outings, 2006’s Blue Note Sessions and his 1999 album Nigel Kennedy Plays Jazz, focused on interpreting compositions from past masters of the jazz repertoire, but this time Kennedy steps to the fore as composer as well as improviser.
Released on 16th June, ‘A Very Nice Album’ is the latest evidence of the sustained surge of creativity, which is currently driving Kennedy onwards. He has recently released two classical discs for EMI, reviving little-known Polish violin concertos on Polish Spirit and throwing new light on the core repertoire with his Beethoven & Mozart Violin Concertos.
