Herbie Nichols Trio is an album by American jazz pianist Herbie Nichols, recorded on August 1 & 7 1955 and April 19, 1956 and released on Blue Note in 1956.[1]
Although originally unheralded at the time of release, Nichol's Blue Note recordings have gained recognition as highly original and ground-breaking compositions and performances.[citation needed]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded Nichols' The Complete Blue Note Recordings, released in 1997, a five-star rating, stating, "The music is virtually unclassifiable, and although largely straight-ahead, sounds unlike anything produced by Herbie Nichols' contemporaries. Essential music."[2]
All tracks are written by Herbie Nichols, except as noted.
