Little Niles (song)

"Little Niles" is a composition by jazz pianist Randy Weston written in waltz time that has become a jazz standard. It was first recorded in 1956 for his album With These Hands..., and was subsequently included in his 1958 album, also called Little Niles, which was inspired by his two then young children, Niles (later known as Azzedine) and Pamela.[1] Other Weston albums that feature the composition include Tanjah (1973), Niles Littlebig (1969), and Monterey '66. Lyrics to the song were composed by Jon Hendricks, recorded on the Lambert, Hendricks & Ross album The Swingers! (1958).[2]
