Although best known across the globe for his virtuosic violin recordings, in November 2005 Nigel entered a studio in New York accompanied by a cast of stellar musicians to lay down his first sessions for Blue Note records.
Kennedy, a jazz aficiono since childhood, has realised a personal dream by recording an album with jazz greats Ron Carter and jack DeJohnette, Blue Note regulars Kenny Werner and Joe Lovano and up-and-coming jazz musicians of the next generation. The resulting CD, Blue Note Sessions, was produced and mixed by Jay Newland, best known for his Grammy-award-winning work with Norah Jones.
The results are surprsing and very exciting.
