The Birdland Big Band

And he'll be on the podcast.

Do you detect a theme here? Nicole leads her own quartet and has performed and recorded with the Birdland Big Band.

She's headlined at the Newport Jazz Festival, the Saratoga Jazz Festival, and at Tanglewood, one of my favorite places on the face of the earth, along with clubs like Dizzy's, Birdland, and the Blue Note.

and in the middle nicole and i are going to do what i call a song fest i've asked her to send me a handful of her best works we're going to listen to a little bit of each you'll get the back stories and nobody else does this in podcasts i assure you and you also know that i like to feature a song of mine in every episode underneath the introduction and at the end And I always try to make it relevant somehow to my guests.
