Herbie Nichols Project: Strange City
ByOverall, the soloists’ engage in some delightful cat and mouse exchanges, warmly stated choruses, and enticingly melodic transitional passages. On “Shuffle Montgomery,” Kimbrough hammers out the primary theme with rhythmically inclined lower register single note lines while trading motifs with drummer, Matt Wilson for a hybrid shuffle/swing groove. Needless to state, this group communicates its plight with a sense of intimacy and co-ownership due to its shrewdly conventionalized representations of Nichols’ impeccable artistry. Recommended.
