Herbie Nichols’s Birth Date Anniversary
Craig presents some top-notch material from Herbie Nichols, born January 3, 1919, whom Craig considers one of jazz music’s superior composers and pianists. We’ll hear Herbie’s work for Blue Note, Bethlehem, Savoy, and several other labels. Herbie Nichols is certainly one of jazz’s most tragically overlooked geniuses.
