Title: ONE OF THE TOP 5 (FIVE) ALL-TIME BEST SELLING JAZZ ALBUMS ON THE IMPLUSE LABEL!!!
Review: Although Oliver Nelson would go on to record the cut "Stolen Moments" for other labels the recording on this album is the definitive 'Original' version! Although with the album's title you'd expect some blues...NOT! There are several selections on the album with blues riffs played throughout, but none are just out 'n' out blues...They are more close to straight ahead Big Band Jazz. Other highlights from this album are: "Yearnin'", "Teenie's Blues" and "Butch And Butch". It should also be noted Oliver Nelson was never one for hoggin' the spotlight...He did more showcasing and/or featured band members or guest artists. The band members on this project included: Paul Chambers, Eric Dolphy, Bill Evans, Roy Haynes, Freddie Hubbard, and George Barrow...I think that's some pretty damn good company to be in, And I don't think 33 (Thirty-Three) Positive Feedbacks could be wrong...Whatcha think?
Is the review positive or negative?
