Description
This Auction is for The Complete Blue Note Recordings Of Herbie Nichols 5 LP Box Set Limited Edition of 5,000 (Out of Print) in Very Good, Near Mint Condition.
This is the limited edition five album Mosaic Box Set of the 48 Herbie Nichols recordings for Blue Note Records which includes the pianist/composer's greatest work. Nichols was largely neglected during his lifetime; only in the late '90s did the highly original musician start receiving some of the recognition he deserved. Although his originals were often quite orchestral in nature, Nichols only had the opportunity to record in a trio format; the five sessions on this box (30 songs plus 18 alternate takes) feature either Al McKibbon or Teddy Kotick on bass and Art Blakey or Max Roach on drums. The music (all originals except George Gershwin's "Mine") is virtually unclassifiable, and although largely straight-ahead, sounds unlike anything produced by Herbie Nichols' contemporaries. Essential music. ~ Scott Yanow
Along with five audiophile vinyl records, this set includes a booklet with commentary and music analysis by Roswell Rudd a brief autobiography by Herbie and photos from the original sessions and elsewhere.
A great opportunity to own such a rare, out-of-print LIMITED EDITION LP COLLECTION.
