The Noordhuis / Nicolle Group

Both trumpeter Nadje Noordhuis and vocalist Michelle Nicolle are jazz artists at the top of their game that have changed the game. Both possess qualities and abilities on their respective instruments that challenge what those instruments are supposed to do.

"..one of the most compelling voices to emerge on her instrument in recent years, trumpeter/composer Nadje Noordhuis possesses one of the most unforgettably lyrical voices in modern music.” All About Jazz

“Nicolle’s warmth and an effortless flow of ideas makes the old sound new. This is a voice Australia should be proud of.” Limelight

Musical collaborators and friends for over twenty years Michelle and Nadje come together again for a new project and tour (including playing for SIMA in Sydney and various regional Victorian towns and Melbourne’s Brunswick Green). Performing along with Australia’s legendary acoustic bassist, Jonathan Zwartz, this chordless trio will lovingly explore standards and original repertoire allowing the trumpet and voice space to roam, discover and soar.
