Herbie Nichols Trio is an album by American jazz pianist Herbie Nichols, recorded on August 1 & 7 1955 and April 19, 1956 and released on Blue Note in 1956.

[1] Although originally unheralded at the time of release, Nichol's Blue Note recordings have gained recognition as highly original and ground-breaking compositions and performances.

[citation needed] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded Nichols' The Complete Blue Note Recordings, released in 1997, a five-star rating, stating, "The music is virtually unclassifiable, and although largely straight-ahead, sounds unlike anything produced by Herbie Nichols' contemporaries.

Essential music.
