Nikko is the craziest jazz musician I’ve ever seen. He composed a song on the fly using a little random tune I used to hum. Called it “Blues for Drew’s” and played it in progressive style at various venues. I’d strongly recommend checking this guy out. His personality and demeanor add so much to his music and it’s exhilarating just to be around the man.
