	Herbie Nichols - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Herbie Nichols (January 3, 1919 – April 12, 1963), was an American jazz pianist and composer.
		Nichols died from leukemia at the age of 44.
		A New York group, the Herbie Nichols Project (part of the Jazz Composers' Collective) has recorded three albums largely dedicated to unrecorded Nichols' compositions, many of which Nichols had deposited in the Library of Congress.

	Herbie Nichols...Living Tradition
		The Herbie Nichols Project doesn't quite obtain the level of interpretive transcendence of Rudd or Baker; still, it is a record full of witty takes on Nichols.
		Pianist Frank Kimbrough leads the Herbie Nichols Project in a similarly respectful and upbeat tour but trades off daring views in favor of a revealing classicism, especially given the conventional instrumentation on the date featuring alto sax, trumpet and rhythm trio.
		Since Nichols never had the chance to arrange his music for a standard ensemble what keys this date are the arrangements including rareties never before heard in band versions.

	Steve Lacy's discography: Change Of Season (Music Of Herbie Nichols)
		Herbie Nichols' was a career that was maddeningly frustrating even for those of us who admired his music; for him it was a treadmill through a gauntlet, a ceaseless battle in which his only weapon, a talent that was too subtle for the casual listener and too demanding for the lazy improvisor, worked against him.
		For this reason, we Herbie Nichols aficionados must applaud the excellent musicians who perform on this record and on Regeneration (SN 1054) which was devoted half to the compositions of Nichols and half to those of Thelonious Monk, Herbie's contemporary and soul mate.
		Herbie Nichols was born in 1919 in New York City of West Indian parentage.

	Amazon.com: The Complete Blue Note Recordings: Music: Herbie Nichols (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Herbie's tunes all have a classical feeling to them, even when he is playing "out of the box." The notes flow together like a classical piece, but most of his tunes are played with at least 2 or 3 notes out of the scale.
		nichols was very much an individual and unique to his approach were a dark undercurrent to the writing owing to a preference for dissonant lower-register chords and, also, a willingness to experiment with basic song structures by adding tags and a variety of other devices.
		Herbie Nichols is one of the archetypal tragedies of jazz.

	Jazzmatazz Review - The Herbie Nichols Project - Strange City
		Nichols was one of a number of creative pianists championed over the years by Blue Note producer Alfred Lion.
		Nichols was recorded in trio settings by both the Blue Note and Bethlehem record labels in the 1950s, but never broke through to commercial success and had to take a lot of non-jazz gigs to survive.
		Even earlier, in 1982, Nichols fan and soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy teamed with Dutch pianist Misha Mengelberg to record Regeneraton for Soul Note—one side of the LP had Nichols compositions, the other side had ones by Thelonious Monk.

	Jelly review: Buell Neidlnger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Herbie Nichols is a perennially neglected jazz pianist and composer.
		He knew Nichols when both were starting out in the New York jazz scene in the mid-'50s, and promised Nichols he would someday record his compositions with brass and strings.
		It is fascinating to hear some of Nichols' harmonies unraveled; his own trio recordings require very close listening, especially to what the left hand is playing, to get a sense of the special nature of his music.

	Herbie Nichols - The Unpublished Works
		There maybe folks then and now who have been impacted by Herbie's playing and immediately dispatched to paradise by it, but on me, he grew gradually and only after a while became a permanent resident of my mind's ear.
		Herbie Nichols had his own way, his own space.
		Herbie's music has served as a constant source of inspiration, information and performance pleasure.

	SoundStage! The Herbie Nichols Project - Strange City
		During a career that was cut short at the age of 44 by leukemia, Nichols’ managed to pen and record some 30-odd original tunes on those four LP’s that he recorded for Blue Note and Bethlehem.
		Considering that Nichols’ own recordings were all performed in a simple trio format, we can only imagine that the expanded instrumentation of The Herbie Nichols Project’s Strange City would have tickled him to no end.
		The Herbie Nichols Project does justice to the music of a man who should have gotten much more than he ever received.

	SoundStage! Eric T. Johnson - Herbie Nichols, Volume One
		The Biblical parable regarding the prodigal son can be applied to the life experiences of jazz pianist/composer Herbie Nichols (1919-1963), if you is willing to stretch a point or two.
		The other, Nichols, though just as talented, is never able to turn his inheritance into anything that benefits him financially during his lifetime, and then passes away -- a faintly remembered name written in the family bible.
		Where Nichols' own recordings were of sparse, angular, outside-the-box piano trios, Johnson presents a more rollicking, accessible side of his music.

	WFIU: Night Lights - Herbie Nichols
		This week on Night Lights it's "Strange City: The Secret Music of Herbie Nichols." When pianist Herbie Nichols died of leukemia at the age of 44 in 1963, he left behind dozens of unrecorded compositions.
		Some of them were entrusted to friend and trombonist Roswell Rudd, while others remained undiscovered for decades, until the efforts and detective work of a group known as the Herbie Nichols Project found them in the Library of Congress and elsewhere.
		(Nichols recorded only a handful of LPs for the Blue Note and Bethlehem labels in the mid-1950s.) We'll hear music from all three of their CDs--LOVE IS PROXIMITY and DR. CYCLOPS' DREAM on the Soul Note label, and STRANGE CITY, the most recent recording (2001), released by Palmetto.

	Eric T. Johnson: Herbie Nichols, Vol. 1 - Jazzmatazz Reviews
		Nichols seems to be getting more attention now than he ever did in his lifetime—starting around the 1980s, musicians started to pick up on his compositions and record them.
		Nichols was only able to record with bass and drums; it's nice to hear his tunes played by a larger ensemble.

	Herbie Nichols
		While a prolific composer of well over a hundred works (most of which have been lost), Nichols' recorded interpretations of his own work consist only of a series of piano trio recordings from the mid-50s.
		Nichols' compositions displayed 'quirky' yet completely logical melodic twists, the integration of drum parts into melodic lines, and in particular demonstrated a variety of 'song forms' quite different from the standard 32-bar and blues forms still prevalent in the mid-50s.
		During his career Nichols was largely considered to be a 'less eccentric Monk', although similarities in their musics and playing styles are largely superficial:

	Review - ERIC T. JOHNSON: Herbie Nichols, Vol. 1 (Summit) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Among the many musicians fascinated and/or influenced by the compositions of Herbie Nichols is a guitarist named Eric T. Johnson (no relation to the blues/rock guitarist from Texas).
		While the Herbie Nichols Project has done spectacular work finally bringing Nichols' compositions to a larger band format, Johnson has gone a different route, keeping the settings small.
		This album gives you a taste of what Herbie Nichols could do and what talented jazz musicians who fully understand their craft can do with special compositions.

	CD Review of Herbie Nichols Project - Strange City on Palmetto @ jazzreview.com
		Chances are that you have never heard of pianist Herbie Nichols.
		Chances are that he would have remained in obscurity were it not for the efforts of pianist Frank Kimbrough and bassist Ben Allison who have formed the Herbie Nichols Project that seeks to resurrect Nichols' talent.
		The Herbie Nichols Project has recorded two CDs ("Love in Proximity" and "Dr. Cyclops” Dream").

	CD Review of Herbie Nichols - Dr. Cyclops' Dream on Soul Note @ jazzreview.com
		Review: The late pianist Herbie Nichols (1919-1963) was one of the great unsung jazz composers.
		If Nichols were born 150 years earlier, he would've been hangin' in with the late 19th century Central European classical guys (think Bruckner), judging by the elegy-like, symphonic nature of the title track.
		Fans of acoustic jazz, whether they "know" Nichols or not, should start saving from their lunch/dinner money for this - it's that good.

		Herbie's playing is so incisive, so tasty, so musical, so humble, so smart.
		If you've heard the name Herbie Nichols, you'll have undoubtedly heard he's one of the great overlooked figures in jazz.
		Nichols' Monk influence is fairly obvious, but then Monk influenced us all and calling Nichols merely a disciple falls short of crediting his talents.

	The Herbie Nichols Project
		Part of a brief fall tour that brought them through the Southern part of Ohio, it was a rare treat to hear the likes of The Herbie Nichols Project on the campus of Ohio State University.
		However, it would have been nice to hear some of the more familiar Nichols items as part of the mix too (I was hoping to catch “Shuffle Montgomery” and “2300 Skiddoo” especially).
		The small amount of recorded music that Nichols left behind was exclusively in the trio format, so it was interesting to hear Kimbrough be featured in similar vein on “Karna Kangi.” Never directly slavish to Nichols’ signature sound, Kimbrough nonetheless infused the entire performance with the kind of brash irreverence that marked Nichols’s best work.
