Oliver Nelson • Soul Battle



Review by Scott Yanow
This intriguing session matches three powerful tenor players: Oliver Nelson, King Curtis (in a rare jazz outing), and Jimmy Forrest. With fine backup work by pianist Gene Casey, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Roy Haynes, the tenors battle to a draw on a set of blues and basic material (including a fine version of "Perdido"). Easily recommended to fans of big-toned tenors and straight-ahead swinging.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Esta intrigante sesión reúne a tres poderosos tenores: Oliver Nelson, King Curtis (en una rara salida de jazz), y Jimmy Forrest. Con un buen trabajo de apoyo por parte del pianista Gene Casey, el bajista George Duvivier y el baterista Roy Haynes, los tenores luchan para empatar en un conjunto de blues y material básico (incluyendo una buena versión de "Perdido"). Fácilmente recomendable para los aficionados a los tenores de gran tono y al swing directo.
