Against the backdrop of over 25 years of creative collaboration Ben, Steve, and Ted weave musical conversations that are full of subtlety and surprise. The group is modeled after reedist/composer Jimmy Giuffre’s drummerless trios of the 1950s and 60s.On their stunning new release (Tell the Birds I Said Hello: The Music of Herbie Nichols) Ben Allison, Steve Cardenas, and Ted Nash turn their attention to the unique and ever-surprising music of the under-appreciated pianist-composer Herbie Nichols (1919-1963). The album features six previously unheard compositions, along with re-workings of two tunes first recorded by The Herbie Nichols Project in 2000 (Strange City, Palmetto).
