Fay Victor

double-album in deluxe 6-panel digipak

Life Is Funny That Way is the major new work from acclaimed and singular singer-soundartist-lyricist-bandleader Fay Victor. It is both a loving celebration and thorough reconsideration of jazz composer Herbie Nichols' rich legacy & a powerful work of art from a formidably talented and forthright black woman.

This landmark work is also the first time that a full program of lyrics have been written & recorded for Nichols’ compositions. Victor's innovative arrangements are brought to vibrant life by Herbie Nichols SUNG, a dedicated and profoundly gifted quintet of veteran jazz performers.
