Grooves for Two is a collection of seven groovy pieces for piano four-hands, written by leading pianist-composers working in jazz and other popular styles. Designed for teacher-pupil duos, the pieces provide foot-tapping fun while exploring rhythmic styles often reserved for bands, encouraging good ensemble playing and a strong sense of beat. To heighten the creativity, the collection includes optional improvisation sections, and demo performances and backing practice tracks are available on major streaming platforms or to download from the companion website

Multi-award-winning jazz pianist and composer, Nikki Iles, was a founder member of the innovative Creative Jazz Orchestra. She has a busy freelance career, with over 25 CDs recorded over three decades, and has been described as the Heroine of British Jazz. Composition remains a major part of her musical life with commissions from The London Sinfonietta, the International Society of Jazz Composers and Arrangers, and The National Youth Jazz Orchestra. With a parallel career as a much loved and respected teacher, Nikki is also Professor of Jazz Piano at the Royal Academy of Music and The Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Her recent awards include the Ivors Academy Gold Badge for exceptional contribution to music (2019), the Jazz Education award, and The Parliamentary Jazz Award (2019), as well as Jazz Ensemble of the Year for the Nikki Iles Big Band in the Parliamentary Jazz Awards (2020).
