Lem Winchester Sextet featuring Oliver Nelson • Lem's Beat

Review by Scott Yanow

Lem Winchester, an ill-fated vibraphonist who was influenced musically by Milt Jackson, teams up with tenor saxophonist Oliver Nelson, altoist Curtis Peagler and a fine rhythm section for a good straight-ahead date that has been reissued on CD. Nelson emerges as the most distinctive solo voice, and since he contributed three of the six songs, the tenorman's musical personality dominates this set. Winchester shows much potential that, due to his untimely death in early 1961, was never fulfilled. Good bop-based music.

Lem Winchester, un vibrafonista maleducado que fue influenciado musicalmente por Milt Jackson, se une al saxofonista Oliver Nelson, al granista Curtis Peagler y a una sección de buen ritmo para una buena fecha directa que se ha reeditado en CD. Nelson emerge como la voz solista más distintiva, y ya que contribuyó con tres de las seis canciones, la personalidad musical del tenorman domina este conjunto. Winchester muestra un gran potencial que, debido a su prematura muerte a principios de 1961, nunca se cumplió. Buena música basada en el bop.
