Nichols, Newk with Kenny/Elmo, Prez & More

Click the play button to listen

We're rotating through our 2019 centenarians—this week Herbie Nichols with tracks from his first Blue Note LP. Our artist log tells me it's time for another deep dive into the vault, including another piano faceoff (because you loved the last one): this time Fats Waller versus Teddy Wilson & Art Tatum. There's more Newk too, recordings with Kenny Dorham & Elmo Hope from 1954. And Prez blows the clarinet with Basie live on 52nd Street. Of course, we've got 21st century music on the front end, as well. Brighten your day... hit play. R.I.P. Chris Albertson (October 18, 19331-April 24, 2019)
