Join us for an unforgettable evening at Piano Smithfield as Nicki Leighton-Thomas sings songs from her albums celebrating the lyrics of Fran Landesman and music of Simon Wallace. Legendary lyricist Fran - friend and mentor to Nicki until her death in 2011 - was known for being part of the Beat Generation of 1950's New York and had her songs recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Barbra Streisand and many others.
“... assured, engaging and astute... Traversing Jazz, blues and pop... Leighton- Thomas delivers with her customary lustrous timbre, rhythmic subtlety and telling eye for detail.” - Peter Quinn - Jazzwise Magazine
