I am very excited (and a little intimidated) to be presenting this project with Many Blessings. We will be performing at the awesome Jazz Record Art Collective Series, which invites jazz groups to perform classic jazz albums in their entirety. Instead of choosing a record with the same instrumentation as Many Blessings (trumpet, tenor sax, bass and drums), I decided to try and arrange one of my favorite piano trio records for my (pianoless) group.

The Herbie Nichols Trio was Nichols' third and final record for Blue Note, and features some of his most engaging compositions, like "The Gig," "Lady Sings the Blues" and "House Party Starting." Max Roach plays drums throughout and Al McKibbon and Teddy Kotick share bass duties.

Herbie is one of my biggest inspirations, and I could listen to his music over and over again without ever tiring of it. I'm very excited to re-imagine his music and am honored to be able to present it at this wonderful series in such a great space, the Fulton Street Collective.
