Our Take

Hold on to your jazz hats, folks, because we're diving into the weird and wonderful world of Herbie Nichols Trio's self-titled album. This Tone Poet reissue takes us back to 1956, when Nichols and his trio were pushing boundaries and raising eyebrows with their unique blend of bebop and avant-garde influences.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, it's clear that Nichols is not your average pianist. His angular melodies and unexpected chord progressions keep listeners on their toes, never quite sure where the music will take them next. And with the nimble fingers of bassist Al McKibbon and drummer Art Blakey backing him up, the trio creates a tight-knit musical tapestry that is equal parts thrilling and perplexing.

Tracks like "The Gig" and "House Party Starting" showcase Nichols' playful side, with jaunty rhythms and unexpected twists that will have you tapping your feet one moment and scratching your head the next. But just when you think you've got the trio figured out, they hit you with a haunting ballad like "Cro-Magnon Nights," proving that they're not afraid to push boundaries and explore the darker corners of jazz.

Overall, Herbie Nichols Trio is a fascinating snapshot of a moment in jazz history when experimentation was king and conformity was a dirty word. So grab a cocktail, sit back, and let the musical madness of Herbie Nichols Trio wash over you. You won't regret it.
