Nikki, Helena & Kristina

Sphere jazz collective

We’re an experienced collective of jazz musicians, who have performed at birthday parties, corporate events (British legion), community events (jubilee celebrations), as well as cafes, bars and restaurants. The core members of the group are Nikki on vocals, Helena on Woodwind and Kristina on Keys. We have a network of phenomenal jazz musicians we regularly work with; bassists, drummers, brass players (on Trombone and Trumpet).

We mainly perform Jazz Standards with a few surprises thrown in. Typical set lists have included Bye Bye Blackbird, Misty, Bewitched, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Blue Skies, All of Me, East of the Sun, All The Things you Are, Skylark, Somewhere Over The Rainbow and a few modern numbers like The Craziest Thing (Trombone Shorty), What is Love (Janelle Monae). We can take requests in advance of your event and can learn 2 to 3 songs of your choice. We’ve even thrown a few Irish songs on request before! We have a few jazzy Christmas numbers we perform each year ‘let it snow’, ‘winter wonderland’, ‘All I want for Christmas is you’ and ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.’

“Sphere Jazz Quartet are fantastic; a classy and sophisticated act with incredibly talented musicians. Nikki has a fabulous voice. Our customers love our jazz events. We would highly recommend them” - Carol and Brian, Lily’s Eden Square, Urmston.

“We hired Nikki and her band for my Mum’s birthday celebration. The audience ranged from 7 to 87 and all enjoyed the musical repertoire. The younger generation even danced the night away. A great selection of songs, not too loud. Nikki asked about my Mum’s favourite songs in advance and played them for her including a few Irish ones. Great night. Great atmosphere. Very accommodating. Professional throughout. Thank you!” - Clare Rogers
