Nigel Kennedy

I chose Nigel Kennedy as the 48th person for this blog. I became his fan as soon as I saw him on the BBC Proms last year. I was very impressed by his jazz gig. Needless to say, it is not always good for classical musicians to play jazz, however I liked his playing very much.

A year has gone by quickly and Nigel was back on BBC Proms again, this year. I was very glad to see him on TV and I enjoyed his interpretation of the Four Seasons and some jazz tunes as well. Two Saturdays ago, the Proms held its finale and he performed with great success. When I saw him carrying a cup of tea onto the stage, I smiled secretly and thought I must make his portrait, and here it is.
