His influence on other pianists can be seen in the work of Elmo Hope and Herbie Nichols, among others. Although neither had the longevity or enjoyed the popularity that Monk ...
Nichols, Newk with Kenny/Elmo, Prez & More

We're rotating through our 2019 centenarians--this week Herbie Nichols with tracks from his first Blue Note LP.

The Schlippenbach-Walsdorff Quartet A-Trane October 31, 2018 The A-Trane is one of Berlin's best-known jazz clubs, but is surprisingly small, once discovered on its quiet street-corner.
