Nikki Iles - Everything I Love (2003)

The new album Everything I Love (Basho Records 5-2) pays homage to some of the composers that have influenced Nikki's playing and created her own unique style. They include guitarist John Abercrombie, songwriters George and Ira Gershwin and Cole Porter. But it is her renditions of the work of the great Bill Evans, and the hugely admired John Taylor that demonstrate she is capable of handling the material of her mentors with as much confidence and sensitivity as they themselves, that make this album stand out.
