Nica's Dream
Composer: Horace Silver

Nica's Dream was played by Jerry Garcia with Merl Saunders during one show in May 1975. The show was possibly an Aunt Monk show with Garcia sitting in rather than a regular Garcia/Saunders show.

Nica's Dream written by Horace Silver in 1954 and first released in 1956 on the first LP released by The Jazz Messengers. The Jazz Messengers at that time were: Art Blakey, Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Horace Silver, and Doug Watkins. The piece was written as a tribute to Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter a friend and patron of many leading jazz musicians in the bebop and hard bop eras.
