Nigel Kennedy - Shhh Music CD

2010 album from the British violinist and his quintet. Shhh! Confirms the maverick status and omnivorous musical taste of one of Britain's finest and most unpredictable musicians. "I am a natural improviser. I can't just always stand up and follow a score," says Kennedy, the virtuoso violinist who has been ploughing his own furrow ever since as a 16 year old student he joined the jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli on stage at the Carnegie Hall - to the alarm of his classical teachers at the Juilliard School.
