Continuing our Herbie Nichols Centennial Project, six more previously unheard Nichols compositions are now available on jazzleadsheets.com. As with the other songs in this project, solo piano performances were recorded at Van Gelder Studio during Herbie Nichols' centennial year. The 23 pianists featured in this project represent players at every decade of their careers, from teens up to 80s. Several of the pianists featured in "The Third 6" are toward the younger end of the spectrum, including Joey Alexander who was 16 years old at the time of his recording.

We've made a teaser video to whet your appetite for this release: all of the pianists' interpretations are inspired improvisations on the basic leadsheets.
