Billy Taylor with Oliver Nelson • Right Here, Right Now!


 
Review by Ken Dryden
Billy Taylor's first release on Capitol features his trio supported by an all-star big band led by Oliver Nelson. One gets the feeling that this LP of arrangements by Taylor and Nelson was made for radio airplay, as 11 of the 12 tracks are under three minutes in length, and the band is stuck playing riffs and unison lines behind Taylor's trio, so the lack of solos by players such as Phil Woods, Clark Terry, Joe Newman, Thad Jones, and Britt Woodman proves rather frustrating. Taylor's solos are swinging and to the point, though he doesn't really extend himself as much as he is capable of. This long out of print release is not essential but worth acquiring by fans of Billy Taylor.

Reseña de Ken Dryden
El primer lanzamiento de Billy Taylor en Capitol presenta a su trío apoyado por una big band de estrellas dirigida por Oliver Nelson. Uno tiene la sensación de que este LP de arreglos de Taylor y Nelson fue hecho para la radio, ya que 11 de los 12 temas duran menos de tres minutos, y la banda se limita a tocar riffs y líneas al unísono detrás del trío de Taylor, por lo que la falta de solos de músicos como Phil Woods, Clark Terry, Joe Newman, Thad Jones, y Britt Woodman resulta bastante frustrante. Los solos de Taylor son contundentes y directos, aunque no se extiende tanto como es capaz de hacerlo. Este disco, agotado hace tiempo, no es esencial, pero merece la pena que los fans de Billy Taylor lo adquieran.
