Herbie Nichols Trio - Herbie Nichols Trio - Tone Poet LP

180g Mono Vinyl LP — Blue Note Tone Poet Audiophile Reissue

Herbie Nichols was one of the most original pianists and composers in jazz history — Blue Note founder Alfred Lion considered him as singular a voice as Thelonious Monk. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's Hackensack studio in 1955 and 1956 with drummer Max Roach and bassists Al McKibbon and Teddy Kotick, this 12" LP (BLP 1519) collects Nichols' hip, angular originals — including "The Gig," "House Party Starting," "Wildflower," and his best-known composition "Lady Sings the Blues," written for Billie Holiday.
