Love, Gloom, Cash, Love is the last album as leader by American jazz pianist Herbie Nichols, featuring performances recorded and released on the Bethlehem label in 1957.[1] “Infatuation Eyes” is a solo piano piece paying tribute to Art Tatum, who died in November 1956.
Reception[]
The Allmusic review by Brian Beatty 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".[2]
