The Session Man

Summary

THE SESSION MAN is a documentary that tells the story of Nicky Hopkins, the prolific virtuoso session pianist. Contributing on over 250 albums, Nicky played with some of the greatest bands in the world. From ‘hard rock’ to ballads, his legendary piano riffs and musical motifs helped ordinary tracks become iconic. By the late 1960’s, Nicky was one of the busiest and most successful session players regularly commuting across the Atlantic to play in London and Los Angeles.
