Herbie Nichols is one of the Ones Who Got Away:  a superb off-center jazz composer from the '50s who somehow never caught on.  You listen to his music and you can't believe you don't hear this stuff like all the time.  And who better to interpret Nichols than that superb off-center stylist, trombonist Julian Priester?  (And what drummer would you rather hear in this than Andrew Cyrille?)  This is truly special.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  You're in a gorgeous venue -- 30-foot-high skylight ceiling! -- with good food and very nice drinks.  And a non-trivial minimum.  So you're going to venture out into the Murray Hill night before or after?  I don't think so.
