Only discovered Nikki Parrott today and then found this gem of improvisation. Wonderful!

[@SeanVplayer]

I have only recently discovered Nicki myself via a instructional video on playing double bass. While I benefited from seeing this, it has impacted my practicing since I can't get enough of watching every performance she has been video taped in. She is an amazing talent!! And SO Lovely! And she sings so Beautifully!! She brings such wonderful Energy to the music she plays!

The first is from kinderszenen, Schumann, and then to Chopin and then I think Bach. Well worth 17mins of your time especially accompanied by the ever smiling Nicki, thanks for posting

This guy moves effortlessly between classical and jazz piano. It's a marvelous performance. Watch it when you have 17 minutes without interruption. What a talent.

[@bennyjazzful]

WOW Incredible music from two musical superstars ( they should be,in my opinion ) What type of recording equipment was used as the sound quality is amazing. Form a 71yo Aussie fan---hope we see Nicki & Rossano live in Australia soon.

Think Rossano is the greatest of modern jazz pianists. As for Nicki...wow and a wonderful bass player.

[@creativejazzpianistrobertr2172]

Wow I Love these Two Great Duo!! Tks Rossano and Nicki

[@mrjimmienoone2130]

When Mr. Sportiello dies, Schumann, Chopin and all these guys will welcome him at heaven's door, and he will have to take part in a great jam session.

Amazing to hear, but I wish Ms Parot

[@elinorhackett2352]

I wish Ms Parott was on this side of piano

[@sgvern1]

And we could see Rossano’s hands

[@Silverlining1111]

Thank god I can watch it in 2024, for the first time. It’s strange when the composer change, the vibe change. And mr Sportiello aligned them perfectly. ❤

[@karlhungus5554]

Obviously, Nicki is a fantastic bassist. But, she's also so beautiful that I can't keep my eyes off her. Plus, she always looks like she's having a great time.

[@ljummen]

Just wonderful! Schubert and some great jazz improvisations just as Friedrich Gulda the only comparable pianist who could fuse classical and jazz in this briliant way.

[@igotbluesdevils]
