  • Oliver Nelson was such a wonderful musician. A true genius. A well-studied, talented genius. He, like many great composers and arrangers go unsung. I wonder if Gil Evans hadn't hooked up with Miles would he would have been as celebrated. Nobody ever talks about his own records, just the ones he did with Miles. But Oliver Nelson was pure gold.

  • aaaahhhhhhhh, thrilling, simply wonderful, nelson is one of the chosen.

  • A great band!

    It was an amazing era for great American/European big bands.Oliver Nelson, Kenny Clarke & Francie Boland, Dizzy Gillespie,Benny Golson,Maynard Ferguson,Gerry Mulligan to mention but a few.

  • I hadn't heard this arrangement before. I love the mayhem of the final statement of the bridge (about 5:15...)!

  • @utubeissad Blues and the Abstract Truth is a landmark recording. But I agree.. a lot of his big band records aren't that well recognized cuz a few of them are out of print

  • it seems to work here, but I don't think jazz ever has room for more than one drum kit.

  • this is great! I still think i like it better played in a quartet though. But this is tight.

  • ON was the man! This band sounds so pumped up, energized, and soulful in a kind of an eastern european sort of way.

  • i know most of u wont believe me but im friends with oliver nelson the fourthwhich is the great grandson of oliver nelson

  • Check out that 'Red S' Selmer!
