Pianist and composer Bryan Nichols returned to Minneapolis in 2005 after several years in Chicago. He quickly became a first call sideman while putting together his own trio, quintet and large ensemble, We Are Many. He has worked with heavyweights like Nicole Mitchell, Von Freeman, Dave King, and Walter Smith III and regularly plays in Gang Font, Kelly Rossum Quartet, James Buckley Trio, and Zacc Harris Group. Nichols was awarded a 2010-11 McKnight Fellowship for Performing Musicians and released his quintet's debut album in 2011, Bright Places.
