Another one of my favourite alltime favourite jazz pieces. Oliver Jones was a musical genius. Ken, Toronto

0:59 relembrando Le Sacre du Printemps de Stravinsky!

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

[@vestibulate]

Rick Hirsch The arrangement comes from Nelson's big band book circa 1967. They made a terrific live album that year called Live from Los Angeles. I like this treatment of Miles' tune. It's fierce and fiery.

Ein wundervolles Stück mit traumhaften Musikern !!! Ralf Römer dessen Einsatz bei ca. 3:35 min anfängt habe ich letzte Woche als Gastmusiker im Linol MG gesehen....auch heute einfach noch Weltklasse.....

wow ttl for oliver and company

[@jimbrown1559]

What a cooking band! Sure gives the lie to the suggestion that the Europeans could cut with American players! Oliver was such a brilliant light, wonderful composer and arranger, fine player, who died so young. But he damn sure did make his mark while he was with us!

My name is oliver Nelson !!!!!!!£!!'

[@HEAD3455]

utube what if it existed in the 40s till now wouldn't that be something

[@dreadnought45]

I'm sorry. I meant to say Oliver Nelson was a musical genius. Oiver Jones is also a good musician/pianist from Montreal. I read where Jones took piano lessons from the sister of Oscar Peterson. Ken, Toronto

[@Reinocerous25]

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

[@davesax11]

Don Ellis used 2 drum kits with congas at times. I love it. Oliver Nelson was truly a genius.

[@poet9981]

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

[@jettjackson]

I dislike the tempo in this interpretation.

Jacob Gjelstrup Agree.
