Black, Brown And Beautiful
Used - LP - FDS-116
1970 original housed in a heavy duty laminated gatefold jacket. Glossy, NM- vinyl. "Black, Brown and Beautiful features several Oliver Nelson performances and much of Johnny Hodge's last album, Three Shades of Blue (arranged by Oliver Nelson). Only the Hodges material is of interest. But it is glorious music, with Nelson scoring several outstanding Ellington themes and, unfortunately, some silly Leon Thomas material for Hodges' well-known and ever-emotional alto. Hodges' last recording." All Music Guide - Douglas Pane

More Blues And The Abstract Truth
Used Import - VIM-5562
1980 Japanese Vinyl Reissue, With Obi & Insert. "Unlike The Original Classic Blues And The Abstract Truth Set From Three Years Earlier, Oliver Nelson Does Not Play On This Album. He Did Contribute Three Of The Eight Originals And All Of The Arrangements But His Decision Not To Play Is Disappointing. However There Are Some Strong Moments From Such All-Stars As Trumpeter Thad Jones, Altoist Phil Woods, Baritonist Pepper Adams, Pianist Roger Kellaway And Guest Tenor Ben Webster (Who Is On Two Songs). The Emphasis Is On Blues-Based Pieces And There Are Some Strong Moments Even If The Date Falls Short Of Its Predecessor." AMG - Scott Yanow.

Skull Session
Used - LP - BDL1-0825
Rare 1975 Gatefold Original. Features Lonnie Liston Smith, Dennis Budimir, Jerome Richardson, Willie Bobo, Shelly Manne And Others. Tunes Are The Funky: "Skull Session" Plus "Reuben's Rondo," "125th And 7th Avenue," "One For Duke," "Dumpy Mama," "Baja Bossa," "In A Japanese Garden," "Flight For Freedom." "Skull Session" is an intriguing exploration of jazz-funk by the renowned arranger and composer Oliver Nelson. Known for his broad musical palette and innovative arrangements, Nelson delves into a fusion territory with this album, offering a soundtrack-like experience that is both vibrant and adventurous. The album stands out for its rich textures and complex instrumental layers, a signature of Nelson's compositional style. The opening track, "Skull Session," sets the tone with its dynamic brass arrangements and driving rhythm, capturing the listener's attention with its bold and energetic approach. Nelson's mastery of orchestration is evident throughout the album, as he deftly balances various elements to create a cohesive and engaging auditory experience.
In contrast to the high-octane start, tracks like "Reuben's Rondo" and "Baja Bossa" showcase Nelson's ability to blend different influences seamlessly, from the soulful undertones of jazz to the infectious grooves of funk. The album features a talented ensemble of musicians, including George Duke on keyboards, whose contributions add depth and richness to the overall sound. Nelson's skillful integration of electronic elements and traditional jazz instrumentation creates a unique and modern sonic landscape that remains fresh and captivating. "Skull Session" is a testament to Oliver Nelson's versatility and creativity, underscoring his position as a forward-thinking composer who consistently pushed the boundaries of jazz music. Top Recommendation.

The Blues And The Abstract Truth
Used Import - VIM-4646
Beautiful 1981, Near Mint Japanese Stereo Pressing Housed In A Gatefold Jacket. Includes Insert; Without Obi. "As Oliver Nelson Is Known Primarily As A Big Band Leader And Arranger, He Is Lesser Known As A Saxophonist And Organizer Of Small Ensembles. Blues And The Abstract Truth Is His Triumph As A Musician For The Aspects Of Not Only Defining The Sound Of An Era With His All-time Classic "Stolen Moments," But On This Recording, Assembling One Of The Most Potent Modern Jazz Sextets Ever. Lead Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard Is At His Peak Of Performance, While Alto Saxophonists Nelson And Eric Dolphy (Nelson Doubling On Tenor) Team To Form An Unlikely Union That Was Simmered To Perfection. Bill Evans (Piano), Paul Chambers (Bass), And Roy Haynes (Drums) Can Do No Wrong As A Rhythm Section. "Stolen Moments" Really Needs No Comments, As Its Undisputable Beauty Shines Through In A Three-part Horn Harmony Fronting Hubbard's Lead Melody. It's A Thing Of Beauty That Is More Timeless As The Years Pass. The "Blues" Aspect Is Best Heard On "Yearnin'," A Stylish, Swinging, And Swaying Downhearted Piece That Is A Bluesy As Evans Would Ever Be. Both "Blues" And "Abstract Truth" Combine For The Darker "Teenie's Blues," A Feature For Nelson And Dolphy's Alto Saxes, Dolphy Assertive In Stepping Forth With His Distinctive, Angular, Dramatic, Fractured, Brittle Voice That Marks Him A Maverick. Then There's "Hoedown," Which Has Always Been The Black Sheep Of This Collection With Its Country Flavor And Stereo Separated Upper And Lower Horn In Snappy Call-and-response Barking. As Surging And Searing Hard Boppers Respectively, "Cascades" And "Butch & Butch" Again Remind You Of The Era Of The Early '60s When This Music Was King, And Why Hubbard Was So Revered As A Young Master Of The Idiom. A Must Buy For All Jazz Fans, And A Top Ten Or Top Fifty Favorite For Many." AMG Review By Michael G. Nastos.
