BOOK

Nikki Yeoh is a creative free spirit who, although deeply rooted in the language of improvisation, is open to a range of music that leans as much to populism as it does high art.

Since her emergence on the British jazz scene in the mid-90s, pianist Nikki has proved to be an improviser, composer and all-round adventurer who has continually sought to broaden her musical horizons. She has worked with artists ranging from Courntey Pine, Cleveland Watkiss and Steve Williamson to The Roots, Neneh Cherry and Joanna MacGregor.

Accomplished soloist as she is, Nikki has also excelled as a composer; this is borne out by the number of very significant commissions. Her most notable recent works include: ‘Suite Of Seven Tunes’ based on the seven deadly sins, for the internationally renowned reeds virtuoso, John Sunman, and ‘River Spirit’, which was written for The New College Oxford Boys’ Choir following a commission from Oxford Contemporary Music. In 2021 the National Youth Jazz Orchestra commissioned a new work, ‘Nucleus’, which Nikki dedicated to her mentor, the Trumpeter, Composer, Writer and Educator Ian Carr (21 April 1933 – 25 February 2009). NYJO presented this new work alongside a reorchestration of Nikki’s seminal multimedia work ‘Speechmik X-Ploration’ with a UK tour in 2023.

In April 2017 Nikki received the Jazz FM Instrumentalist of the Year Award sponsored by Rathbones. In October 2024 she received Parliamentary Jazz Education Award for her outstanding contribution to Jazz education over the past thirty years. In 2025, Nikki joined Jazz FM as a presenter, hosting a Saturday evening show.
