Tonight a big welcome to Nadim Teimoori who debuts as a leader at the East Side. His superb tenor sound first came to our attention when he accompanied Dennis Rollins, at his gig here in January this year. Originally from Doncaster, Nadim joined DYJA (Doncaster Youth Jazz Associaton) at the age of 13 and progressed rapidly, receiving recognition from all over the country and winning numerous awards. A diploma in Jazz Studies at Leeds College of Music followed, before ending up at the Royal Academy Of Music in 2008, winning the Humphrey Lyttelton Royal Academy of Music Jazz Award in 2011, and graduating with 1st Class Honours in 2012. A former member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra (NYJO), Nadim performed with NYJO at the BBC Proms in 2012.
