Down With Some Oliver

I recently picked up two Oliver Nelson Albums. I first picked up “Screamin’ The Blues” (1960) based solely on the title of the album. I love the Blues, and Love a good Sax player so I thought lets see what this has to offer. I was not disappointed at all. In fact the next day I needed more of this Oliver Nelson, so on the recommendation of my local record shop guy I bought “The Blues and The Abstract Truth” (1961)..which has an all star Jazz Line up on it.

For any Jazz Lover these albums are must haves…the way the songs wind around the notes and turn a basic melody into an in depth movement of music. I always felt Jazz was perfect music for an ADD mind, might be all the dope smoked, because each instrument is working together while creating its own groove.

Key Tracks:

Screaming The Blues…this song is like making love, from the seduction to the climax, with a smoke afterwards

Butch And Butch… The horns grab you in and take you on a ride.
