Biography

Oliver Nelson (1932-1975) always gave the impression that he had enough talent for three musicians. As a tenor-saxophonist, altoist, arranger, composer, and bandleader, Nelson was near the top of his field.

Born in St. Louis, Nelson was playing professionally as a 15-year-old in 1947, working with the Jeter-Pillars Orchestra and the big bands of George Hudson and Nat Towles. In 1951 he was not only… Read more in Amazon's Oliver Nelson Store

This review is from: Taking Care of Business (Audio CD)
This was Nelson's second album (March 1960), and it's just as good as his first one (MEET OLIVER NELSON), also on Prestige. Vibraphonist Lem Winchester joins Nelson on the front line, while Johnny Hammond Smith is on organ. The whole album has a downhome feel to it; there are two blues (TRANE WHISTLE and LOU'S GOOD DUES) that are dripping with soul. GROOVE is the one tune whose tempo is quicker than medium, and Nelson's solo on this is burning. George Tucker (b) and Roy Haynes (d) are solid in the rhythm section. An excellent outing.
