Many thanks to of The New Yorker, who included Nicki Parrott in his top 10 recordings for 2007….
Nicki Parrott and Rossano Sportiello, People Will Say We’re in Love (Arbors)—Parrott is an exceptional bassist and an endearingly modest singer; Sportiello an adroit pianist with telepathic reflexes. Together, they add sparkle to well-trodden standards and reawaken such worthy sleepers as Johnny Hodges’s
You Blew Out the Flame in My Heart
and Tom McIntosh’s The Cup Bearers.
