Herbie Nichols (1919-1963) was a visionary jazz pianist and composer who pushed the boundaries of bebop. The under-recognized genius penned the iconic title song, "Lady Sings the Blues," alongside Billie Holiday. Vocal powerhouse Fay Victor celebrates Herbie Nichols on her new album, "Life is Funny That Way." This decade-long passion project marks the first time a full program of lyrics has been written for Nichols' compositions. Victor's stunning vocals – ranging from soulful crooning to exhilarating scat – breathe fresh life into Nichols' timeless melodies. "Life is Funny That Way" is both a love letter to a hidden jazz master and a bold reimagining of his legacy for the 21st century.
