So Glad to see you're playing Herbie Nichols. And thanks for throwing our CD, Strange City in there too!
Herbie Nichols was innovative, swinging, unique and remains woefully undervalued as an extraordinary musician and quirky composer. Listen to "Herbie Nichols Trio" Blue Note 1519 - you'll realise every aforementioned compliment was deserved!
