Four Herbie Nichols 100th celebration nights at The Stone curated by Fay Victor
HERBIE NICHOLS 100TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION at the Stone (Jan. 2-5). While Bar Lunático will devote one night to honoring Nichols’s iconoclastic legacy, the Stone will welcome a different group each night for four days in a row. The multipart tribute kicks off with a performance from members of the Jazz Composers Collective, the confederation helmed by Ben Allison (see listing above). The radical, quizzical, often exuberant Fay Victor, who organized this full week of programming, will perform vocal interpretations of Nichols’s music on Jan. 3 with a five-piece band. On Jan. 4, a squad of pianists including Vijay Iyer and Anthony Coleman will give short solo recitals. The final night, six brass musicians affiliated with the trombonist Roswell Rudd - a champion of Nichols’s songbook who died last year - will play in a horns-only outfit. -- NYTimes
