Pianist Bryan Nichols is embarking on a new chapter in his musical life. On Saturday, Dec. 21, he launches a new quintet to navigate his original compositions. The group premieres at Berlin and he’ll be joined by Sophia Kickhofel (sax), Jake Baldwin (trumpet), Dan Carpel (bass), and JT Bates (drums).
Nichols was nice enough to stop by the Jazz88 studios and chat with Sean McPherson about the new lineup, his approach to collaborating with new players, and how he stays committed to being a lifelong student of music.
