		For the past 25 years, Nigel Kennedy has been acknowledged as one of the world's leading violin virtuosos and is, without doubt, one of the most important violinists Britain has ever produced.
		Kennedy’s recording of the Brahms Violin Concerto with the London Philharmonic, under the direction of Klaus Tennstedt, was released in March 1991 and, in June 1992, Kennedy joined forces with the NDR-Sinfonieorchester and Klaus Tennstedt to record the Beethoven Violin Concerto.
		Kennedy is passionate about football and has long been a devotee of Aston Villa, attending as many matches as his schedule allows.

	KKEETTOO.org / Nigel Kennedy in Tokyo Nov 2003 (E)
		Kennedy introduces the folks, then perform a couple of ritual handshakes with the Polish guys in the fashion of eager teenagers (of the jerks of the school types) trying to look like big boys.
		Kennedy notices the guy and explains him from the podium that he just got into a great concert and how terrible sorry he was that he must have been delayed in the obviously heavy traffic of Tokyo.
		Nevertheless, we are at a concert at the Sapporo concert hall for a classical music performance so Nigel Kennedy kindly reminds the audience, that good looks are one thing and as an insider, he informed everybody, that her music beats what meets the eye.

	Nigel Kennedy
		For nearly twenty years, Kennedy has been acknowledged as one of the world's leading violin virtuosos whose unique talent has brought fresh perspectives and a quantum energy to both the classical and contemporary repertoire.
		Kennedy studied originally at the Sir Yehudi Menuhin School in England before moving on to the internationally renowned Juilliard School of Music in New York to study under Dorothy DeLay while his London concert debut came playing the Mendelssohn Violin concerto with The Philharmonia under Riccardo Muti at the Royal Festival Hall.
		Kennedy will also undertake his first major American tour in over five years throughout October and November - dates which incorporate the Brahms & Elgar concerti as well as a series of Bartok, Hendrix & Bach recitals for quartet and wind quartet.

	Nigel Kennedy - Practice makes perfect
		Kennedy had been invited to play the Elgar Violin Concerto, with which he won an award in 1985 with five times as many votes as the next-best disc.
		At one rehearsal, the principal cellist was unaccountably absent.
		But the main reason to take heed of Kennedy's qualms is that he is still the hottest draw on the classical circuit, outselling any other fiddler with his quirky charm, his Hendrix headband and his unique ability to reach the furthest seats in the gallery with the blazing urgency of his music.

		Bio: As one of the most successful classical performers of his time, violinist Nigel Kennedy's genre-defying music helped him achieve a level of fame typically reserved for pop stars.
		In 1992, neck surgery forced Kennedy to retire for several years; when he resurfaced with 1996's Kafka, he performed his own compositions for the first time, broadening his scope to include not only classical music but also elements of Celtic, rock, and jazz.
		The Jimi Hendrix tribute The Kennedy Experience followed in 1999.

		With his Kennedy Experience octet, the chamber ensemble performs guitar-rock classics such as "Little Wing," "Fire," and, of course, "Purple Haze." These are extended jams--opener "Third Stone from the Sun" is 14 minutes long--but the playing is fine, with plenty of improvisation.
		Nigel is careful to not "out Jimi" Hendrix by overextending his skills to the point of nauseam virtuosity, he carefully plots and exerts his own signature on the compositions as only he can.
		All me fave Jimi tunes being set to the frantic urgency of Kennedy's flailing bow, and the accompanying musos bringing their brilliance into line with him, seems to work for me. Of course I was really anxious to see if he would colour between the lines, or would it stray.

	BBC - Radio 3 - Womad 2004 - Nigel Kennedy and Kroke
		Despite all the 'bad boy of classical music' stuff which still clings to him with or without justification, Nigel Kennedy remains proof positive of the eternal precept that virtuosity without soul is worthless.
		Kennedy is a complex man of genius, awkward and difficult at times, who has had to rebel to establish his own identity.
		I'm with Liz on this one: Kennedy is a buffoon.

	Nigel Kennedy \| Blue Note Sessions
		Here in his native Britain, violinist Nigel Kennedy is regarded by some as a figure of fun, a player who made much of his fortune with Vivaldi's evergreen Four Seasons, still a nice little earner, but one who has energetically promoted himself as the rebellious bad boy of classical music.
		Kennedy doesn't emerge as the world's most adventurous improviser, but he's a melodic and relaxed one with a natural grasp of jazz rhythm.
		It's to Kennedy's credit that he isn't overwhelmed by such company, and to the band's credit that it provides a credible comfort zone for him to shine in.

		Be it Vivaldi, Beethoven, Kreisler, Elgar or Hendrix, Kennedy upends the expectations of one and all.

		Cited as one of the most gifted violinists in contemporary classical music, having studied under Yehudi Menuhin and Dorothy DeLay, before the mid-90s Nigel Kennedy was best known within the popular music field for his on-off relationship with Brix Smith of the Fall, a strong lisp and his affection for Aston Villa football club.
		Kennedy's reputation was originally built on his interpretation of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, which sold more than a million copies in 1989.
		The artist decided to be known as Kennedy for a period thereafter, a move that further alienated him from the purists.

		This is an enjoyable album that continues to grow on me. The band assembled for Kennedy's jazz recording debut includes Joe Lovano, Jack DeJohnette and, on Hammond B-3, Lucky Peterson (who performed in Australia with the Dynamic Hepnotics).
		Kennedy plays an electric violin with a broad, rather dark tone.
		Kennedy does not threaten to dislodge my jazz violin favourites Ray Nance and Stuff Smith but he has something of his own and plays jazz much better, I am sure, than they would play Vivaldi.

	CNN - WorldBeat Interviews - Not quite Vivaldi: Nigel Kennedy remembers Hendrix - August 23, 1999
		Most people got to know Kennedy through his groundbreaking interpretation of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons," the 1989 recording that became one of the best selling classical albums of all time.
		But he's equally at home with jazz, Celtic or rock music, and can go from Bach to Bartok, or from Haydn to Hendrix -- Jimi, that is; Kennedy's upcoming "The Kennedy Experience," which includes his widely toured "Hendrix: Concerto in Suite Form," is a tribute to the rock idol.
		Kennedy studied music at the Yehudi Menuhin School and at Juilliard.
