Blue Note Tone Poet Series<\/p>\n
Herbie Nichols was one of the most original pianists and composers in Jazz history. Blue Note founder Alfred Lion considered him to be as unique and important a voice as Thelonious Monk, another singular talent who Lion was the first to record a few years before he signed Nichols in 1955. Little-known during his lifetime, recognition has begun to grow in recent decades for Nichols\u2019 incredibly hip, angular compositions, each of which were miniature marvels built with their own sturdy inner logic. Following his introduction on the two 10\u201d LPs The Prophetic Herbie Nichols, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2., Nichols returned to Rudy Van Gelder\u2019s Hackensack, New Jersey studio in August 1955 with drummer Max Roach and bassist Al McKibbon\u2014and again in April 1956 with Roach and bassist Teddy Kotick\u2014for sessions that produced Herbie Nichols Trio (BLP 1519). This 12\u201d LP was another collection of idiosyncratic Nichols originals including \u201cThe Gig,\u201d \u201cHouse Party Starting,\u201d \u201cWildflower,\u201d and perhaps his best-known composition \u201cLady Sings the Blues\u201d which was written for Billie Holiday.<\/p>\n
