The Prophetic Herbie Nichols, Vols. 1 & 2 are a pair of separate but related ten-inch LPs by jazz pianist Herbie Nichols recorded on May 6 & 13, 1955 respectively and released on Blue Note later that year. [1]
Although originally unheralded at the time of release Nichols' Blue Note recordings have gained recognition as highly original and ground-breaking compositions and performances. The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded Nichols' The Complete Blue Note Recordings, released in 1997, a five star rating and stated "The music is virtually unclassifiable, and although largely straight-ahead, sounds unlike anything produced by Herbie Nichols' contemporaries. Essential music." [2]
