Nice renditions of Stolen Moments (and that alto solo!! - Oliver would be proud) and Hoedown. Oliver was incredible. I caught him in NYC shortly before his passing. Recently saw a pic of Quincy's European Tour - apparently Oliver was part of the band.
Oliver Nelson was one of the outstanding composers and arrangers of the 60s and early 70s. He left us when he was just too young.
