Win A Free Collectible: Herbie Nichols on Blue Note
Oct 15, 2009 Blue Note, Free Collectibles
Now that we’ve given away the Billie Holiday record it is time to turn our attention to the next contest. As mentioned, we decided to go through the collection we purchased the other night to come up with something worthy. There were many candidates, and the one we chose is this: Herbie Nichols Trio, Blue Note 1519. This is a French reissue of this classic Blue Note LP featuring Nichols on piano with Max Roach on drums and either Al McKibbon or Teddy Kotick on bass. We can safely give this one away since the one in our collection is a Lexington Avenue pressing. As always with these contests, the goal is to encourage people to comment on the Jazz Collector site. It is working and we are getting both more comments and more commentators. Anyway, we have
one copy of this record, which is in mint condition, by the way. It is on my turntable as I type this and it sounds terrific. We will give this to one reader of the Jazz Collector Web site who posts a comment between now and November 2, when this contest will end.

Dear Al,
The Third World of Herbie on 117th Street? It Didn’t Happen. Rif Primatif made Cro-Magnon Nights Mine as I was Shuffle Montgomery-ing, Applejackin,’ and doing the 2300 Skiddoo. Furthermore, I have a Query about the Double Exposure of the Brass Rings at The Gig.
Love (Gloom, Cash) Love,
Mickey

Call me what you will–but I am drunk on jazz. I am an addict to the sweet vinyl sounds of bliss that justifies the deepest of feelings. Plunge me into a blue note and my world melts into the sober thoughtfulness of days gone by. Challenging days my friend. You’re moving down to a manageable 1,000 and it’s time for me to part with some old dusty friends. Funny how some albums really speak to us–some a lot more often than others. This is what we have to hold on as we say goodbye.
