Jazz Sync Listen: Oliver Nelson - oooof!

[C]

I love Paul Chambers' bass playing

I love a drop of double bass me.

My son Zap got to decent standard and then gave it up




.

[C]

The lad Oliver can certainly play that sax

I'm loving the piano too




.

[Six String]

Upright bass is a lifetime of dedication. I love the sound. I played with someone last Thursday night who played one.

[LMG]

Hello all.

I am here and have been.

Rushed in - it takes me longer to set up the lap top to talk than the Spotify to play the album.

To absent friends.

It really is an all star band. Roy is still with us.

[C]

From the Van Gelder Studio - a lovely recording, especially for 1961

Great clarity, brightness and separation

Lovely

[Six String]

Welcome Chris.

[LMG]

This album has a fantastic sound.

The lead melodies are very strong and reveal Oliver Nelson's later skill in film and tv music.

[C]

There's a bit of soprano sax in there - the great Eric Dolphy - such a distinct sound

Evening Chris and welcome

Well done

Eric Dolphy - so recognisable!!

Chris - we are 2:40 into track 2

[Six String]

Hoedown is an interesting choice but Dolphy’s playing and Nelson’s arrangement makes it happen. Freddie can always be counted on for a brisk solo as well.

[LMG]

Welcome Chris.

Great to be here! And to have you join us!

Good grief - the line up on this album!

Every one a veteran or eventual veteran of the best and most influential recordings in jazz.

Including, of course, this one,

[C]

I love the solos - short, sweet and delightful

with driving tubs!

Full of music

He knew where the money was….

Good grief - the line up on this album!

A 'who's who' lad!

Yes, a 'who's who'

Cascades - track 3

Chris - we are 2:40 into track 2

Thanks - me too,

As I said, I can set up Spotify quickly, on my telly and stereo.

It is getting my laptop stoked up and on BCB that takes the time.

[LMG]

Thinking back to Hoedown - does anyone think of the ELP version when that plays?
I know I do...
