The record
Al McKibbon on bass and Art Blakey on drums behind Nichols at the piano, a heavier rhythm pairing than the crooked little titles here -- 'Amoeba's Dance', '2300 Skiddoo' -- would lead you to expect, and the friction is what makes it. Ten-inch Blue Note, BLP 5069, cover design by Martin Craig, liner notes by Leonard Feather.
