Happy Birthday, Nikki! May your day be filled with more joy than an accordion solo at a jazz festival—and fewer surprises than sight-reading tricky charts on stage. Your piano keys have danced their way into our hearts, and your accordion skills squeeze out smiles wherever you go.From winning the prestigious John Dankworth Special Award at the BT Jazz Festival back in '96 to inspiring countless students as an educator, you've hit all the right notes. Here's hoping this year brings even more memorable gigs, standing ovations, and perhaps fewer requests for "Free Bird." Keep swinging—you're timeless!
