Paris Jazz Corner

Box set of 6 CD, contain 16 pages booklet with beautiful photos.

Our box includes 90 tracks, spanning 1962 to 1967. They include some of his more recognizable compositions, such as 'Miss Fine', 'Teenie's Blues', and 'Patterns For Orchestra', as well as tunes from others that because associated with Nelson (such as W.C. Handy's 'St. Louis Blues.'). There is the album-length tribute to a fallen leader, The Kennedy Dream, as well as Nelson's version of the symphonic classic Peter and the Wolf. His re-working of the piece by Prokofiev (for leader Jimmy Smith) scceeds where other attemps as jazzing the classics don't, largely because the LP came from Nelson's original compositions inspired by the original, rather than from sticking a backbeat on the orchestral work.

The Mosaic booklet includes liner notes and a track-by-track analysis of the music by composer/musician Kenny Berger, who studied under Nelson stalwart Danny Bank and played with nearly all the musicians on these dates.
The discography of these sessions corrects mistakes in all previous versions (we even went back to mucician's union session logs to get the personnel right!).

It's nice to know so many mucicians and composers credit Oliver Nelson as a major influence. Now, at last, you can appreciate why.
