Nigel Kennedy & Boy George

NKQ: Tomasz Grzegorski (tenor sax, soprano sax & bass clarinet), Piotr Wylezol (piano & Hammond), Adam "Szabas" Kowalewski (contrabass & electric bass) & Krzysztof Dziedzic (drums)

This latest Nigel Kennedy Quintet album confirms the maverick status and omnivorous musical taste of one of Britain's finest and most unpredictable musicians. Boy George is featured as guest vocalist on lead track 'Riverman'.
