Since his death in 1963, Herbie Nichols has become one of the most influential composers in jazz. Although he is best known for Lady Sings the Blues, very few of Nichols compositions had lyrics. Fay Victor has rectified that with her Herbie Nichols SUNG project, writing lyrics that convey the whimsy, romance, and ever-changing sameness of the blues that permeates Nichols mid-century modern music. In a program recently given at Kennedy Center, Victor, whom The New York Times called a singer with her own brand, pianist Anthony Coleman, and double bassist Ratzo Harris, transforms the music of a jazz great.
