    Oliver Nelson's sister was my teacher at Columbia school in St Louis Mo. in the early 60s, l i remember her name only as , Mrs Richardson. On days' , she would turn off the lights in class, and we would listen to jazz and symphony at the age of 10 and 11 years old. I remember her inviting her entertaining brother to our class one day to meet us. I had never been around a star before ,and Mrs Richardson had conditioned us. Um like, man-o-man. Another school teacher from those days told me back in the 70s that she had passed ......R.I.P. Mrs Richardson, i"m 64 now and i still like jazz and symphony, and to your brother Oliver, RI.P and thanks for the good music

    Oliver Nelson's arrangement of this timeless classic is exceptional. It gives you the feeling of the small, intimate Jazz Clubs of the 60's & the 70's!... Simply Superb‼️😎

    One of the most original version of this song ever recorded. This is music from my teenage years, and brings back many wonderful memories my musical learning and exploration into the fantastic world of music. This man was a true music master. One of the greats of the 20th Century.

    Oliver Nelson, musician 'extraordinaire'. 1967, the High School of Music and Art in Harlem. I cut high school one day to hear you record Jazzhattan Suite. Oliver, you were a gift to me and my deep appreciation of music. Your arrangements are always superb. And you took time when I approached you in Central Park to chat with me about music. I am blasting Sound Pieces through my stereo now. Phil Woods, Grady Tate, Ernie Royal, Snooky Young, Bob Brookmyer and a host of additional music giants. Oliver, you are a gift to this world!!!

    This is my favorite instrumental version of this absolutely gorgeous tune... The late great Oliver Nelson's Soprano Sax is sounding exquisite...his opening Salvo sets the stage for all that follows...as an arranger his version of course has no peer...the piano solo is absolutely marvelous by Steve Kuhn prior to Oliver coming bac n and finishing the tune off w/some of the most beautiful lines I've ever herd...the emotion, the passion, the energy is not to b denied backed by the solid rhythm section of Kuhn, late great Grady Tate-drummer and of course the bass play of the living legend Ron Carter injecting some of the marvelous slide work and unpredictable placement of notes he was and is so known for....
    Absolutely my favorite Instrumental versions

    This is the best jazz version of this song. Oliver was a Master Craftsman for putting together a great solo every time he played . His Soprano Sax playing is incredible having a great sound & technique to express himself great idea lines. I bought a soprano Mark VI because I loved his playing so much on this recording. His arranging is the best on every track, as he did on every other album . He was a Genius . I bought his Patterns for Jazz book in 1967 & analyzed the entire book & it opened my mind for many music lines to Improvise . RIP Oliver Nelson. I almost had an opportunity to meet Oliver at Jim & Andy's in NY city, but did not want to interrupt his conversation while he was eating . My big loss for not talking to him.

    One of my all time favorite versions played by Oliver Nelson on soprano saxophone in a small group. His tone and technique of his Prima Soprano Sax are simply superb. Steve Kuhn on piano, Grady Tate on drums and Ron Carter on bass performed magnificently behind the soloist. Bravo. I have listened to this version at least 50 times over the years.

  • @viggosimonsen5870
    @viggosimonsen5870 8 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I love his tone on all saxes - rough, sweet, warm, expressive and very classical - all at the same time. A very schooled musician. This is absolutely brilliant solo work.

    Oliver Nelson has been a favorite of mine for over 50 years. Glad to see the appreciation/tributes from others. Saw him perform once in NYC in the early 70's shortly before he passed. An incredible talent as a performer, composer and arranger.

  • @desperatetimes5873

    This about my favorite version of this great tune. I knew Oliver in the seventies. He would hang out with us at TheTimes Jazz Club with Stan Davis, usually when Benny Golson was playing or Warne Marsh or Blue Mitchell. I used to fix him some food after the kitchen had closed. Of course I had heard his music before I knew him. R.I.P., genius.

    An under appreciated saprano sax master, due in part to Coltranes exceptional work. Oliver had a profound scense of harmony as could be heard in his arrangements and compositions. Also his solos could stand with the best of them.

    The whole rendition is a masterstroke. And Nelson's solo is the most beautifully composed work of "building" to soaring heights that I've heard in 50 years of listening to jazz. Arguably the best soprano solo I've ever heard (apologies to Trane and Dolphy). And yes, Viggo, warm/sweet/intense...somehow all of those. And the quotes of There Will Never Be Another You toward the end... just genius. Brilliant.

      I thought I might be the only person feeling this way about this performance. It's difficult to think of a more beautiful, soulful, authentic soprano recording.

  • @iwrotesham
    @iwrotesham 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    P.S. I can remember when I first bought the album--at the time of its release--and I must've sat back with the stereo blasting and played and replayed this song a dozen straight times. With my heart pounding and also tears welling in my eyes.

    Oliver Nelson, in the beginning part of his beautiful introduction, follows exactly an ascending Phrygian scale. He uses a combination of altering the rhythm at which he plays the scale accompanied by his magnificent tone, clarity and artistry of his soprano sax.

    Wow.
    I've known and appreciated Nelson as a composer/arranger for decades, but I'd never heard any of his small-group stuff before... This is gorgeous.
    His solo is perfect, and perfectly-balanced; Kuhn, on piano, I've never thought much of, but here he's brilliant; and Carter and Tate are 2/3 of my favorite rhythm section of all time, so I'm just thrilled to find a cut they'd played on together that I'd never heard before.

    Had to come back and listen to this! I would love to know what his mouthpiece set up was (On this cover photo, it looks like a Selmer E)? His soprano tone is my favorite. I love Coltrane's sound as well as Steve Lacy. However, Oliver his my #1 on the sound.
