Oliver Nelson • Meet Oliver Nelson

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Oliver Nelson's debut as a leader found him already a distinctive and skilled tenor saxophonist by the age of 27. For this quintet set, Nelson teams up with the veteran trumpeter Kenny Dorham, pianist Ray Bryant, bassist Wendell Marshall, and drummer Art Taylor for four of his originals, plus the ballads "Passion Flower" and "What's New." Although none of these Nelson tunes caught on, this was an impressive beginning to a short but productive career and gives one a strong example of the multi-talented Nelson's tenor playing.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El debut de Oliver Nelson como líder lo encontró ya como un saxofonista tenor distintivo y hábil a la edad de 27 años. Para este quinteto, Nelson se une al veterano trompetista Kenny Dorham, el pianista Ray Bryant, el bajista Wendell Marshall y el baterista Art Taylor para cuatro de sus originales, además de las baladas "Passion Flower" y "What's New."Aunque ninguna de estas melodías de Nelson se popularizó, este fue un comienzo impresionante para una carrera corta pero productiva y da un fuerte ejemplo de la interpretación de tenor del polifacético Nelson.
