Mosaic Image of the Week

Herbie Nichols at his First Blue Note Sessions: May, 1955

Alfred Lion was always drawn to thoroughly original and idiosyncratic pianist-composers. When he first heard Thelonious Monk, he wanted to record everything that Monk had written. He told me he had the same passion about Herbie Nichols and Andrew Hill. The first of five sessions with Herbie took place on May 6, 1955 with former Monk sidemen Al McKibbon and Art Blakey. His music sounds as fresh today as it did 65 years ago! Visit www.mosaicrecordsimages.com for more Francis Wolff Blue Note photography.
