About
Might I suggest … If life begins at 50 then freedom is a good way to kick off 2023, Nikki Yeoh’s 50th trip around the sun.
At the age of 16, Nikki Yeoh met virtuoso double bass player Paul Rogers at a Keith Tippett’s gig.
“Paul was huge influence on my musical mindset, he had a dedicated practice regime & complete commitment to the art of playing free’
When Evan Parker invited Nikki to play free with Mark Sanders at the Vortex on the summer solstice 2018, London Jazz News said ‘She made the piano roar and thunder’.
Given that Paul Rogers now resides in France this is a rare opportunity to witness the musical alchemy of these world class musicians for the very first time at the home of free jazz and improvisation London’s Vortex
