How Nile Rogers Organises Jam Sessions In London
What do the songs Like A Virgin, We Are Family, Let’s Dance and Get Lucky have in common?
The answer - apart from the fact that they’re all absolute bangers - is Nile Rodgers. The man is a living legend who has written, produced and performed on songs that have sold hundreds of millions of copies over his 50-year-career.
With his stellar back catalogue and a long list of famous musicians on speed dial, this man must host an absolutely epic jam session. Based in Connecticut, Rodgers travels across the globe for recording sessions with artists. And, recently he found himself in London, organising a jam with his band Chic and the soulful singers from the House Gospel Choir.
