Herbie Nichols Trio (1956) Love, Gloom, Cash, Love (1957)

Love, Gloom, Cash, Love is the last album by American jazz pianist Herbie Nichols, featuring performances recorded and released on the Bethlehem label in 1957. “Infatuation Eyes” is a solo piano piece that pays tribute to Art Tatum, who died in 1956.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Brian Beatty awarded the album 4½ stars and stated: "These performances may be less animated than Nichols' earlier sides as a leader, but that's not to suggest the pianist's writing or playing had become pedestrian or predictable... Nichols' complex melodies and solos shine that much brighter".
