Grady has recorded a significant amount of music over the years with longtime collaborators like Jeff Lorber, Grammy winner Bill Champlin, Chris Botti, Dove Award winners Andy Chrisman, Rachael Lampa, and Chris Rodriguez. Grady has performed onstage with Peter Cetera, the Beach Boys, Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer, Kenny Loggins, Kirk Whalum, and Bob James. Being called a great singer on the saxophone, Grady approaches playing the sax to sound like a singer. Maybe this explains why Grady has opened for music royalty like Luciano Pavarotti, Ray Charles, Huey Lewis and the News, George Benson, Al Green, the Righteous Brothers, the Temptations, and so many more. It doesn’t hurt to mention that Grady’s most famous song, “London Baby”, which has a new rendition on his recent LIVE record, was on the Billboard Jazz Charts for six months! Nichols’ follow-up Christmas record featuring legend Michael Omartian and orchestral genius David Hamilton reached number two on the smoothjazz.com holiday charts. Grady views himself as a saxophonist who plays many varying styles. He is frequently told “I never liked jazz until I heard you” as his music captures the hearts and ears of everyone that listens. Now put on your headphones or crank the dial on your stereo and get ready to make some noise with the great saxophonist himself, Grady Nichols!
