Nick's Bump is a smooth jazz album by American keyboardist and jazz vocalist Ben Sidran, released in 2004. It is Sidran's twenty sixth album, and his first release by his independent label Nardis Records.[1]
Although Sidran's reputation as a keyboardist had been well established by the time it was released, Nick's Bump represented his first effort at an instrumental album.[2] The tracks are presented as a "party mix" of cool tunes to be accompanied by a "Nick's Bump" drink, the recipe for which is included in the CD notes.[3]
The album's songs were composed by a litany of jazz artists, notably Eddie Harris who is represented in three songs including "Listen Here", the first single track from the 1967 second place R&B chart topper The Electrifying Eddie Harris.
In a style that would later be echoed by such works as Dylan Different, the album was recorded live without alterations.[4]
