About this concert
Michelle Nicolle Quartet - Geoff Hughes (g), Tom Lee (b), Ronny Ferella (d)
For this concert Michelle will showcase her original songs from the Michelle Nicolle Quartet’s 10th and latest ABC Jazz album, 10 – Michelle Nicolle Live at The Jazzlab. Some of these songs could easily fall in the Great American Songbook, others could only have been written today. This is a rare chance to hear some of the finest original Australian jazz compositions going around and also some classic repertoire that the Michelle Nicolle Quartet have performed over the last 25 years.
..a free-ranging singer with sumptuous tone and exemplary intonation. – John Shand, The New York City Jazz Record, 2023
Michelle is a singer born to sing, born to charm, enlighten and seduce through music. – Kurt Elling, 2012
If there’s such a phenomenon as the perfect jazz singer, Michelle Nicolle is far and away my choice. – Eric Myers, The Weekend Australian, 2023
