Description
Digitally remastered edition. An excellent saxophonist, Oliver Nelson was even better-known as an arranger and his work for others tends to overshadow his own recordings. He worked with a host of names including James Brown, Jimmy Smith and Diana Ross as well as composing the music for such well-known TV shows as Ironside and the Six Million Dollar Man. In the early '70s, busy with TV and film work, he was signed to Flying Dutchman and recorded a series of albums, including this one, at the 1971 Montreux Festival. One side is the title track, written especially for the Festival, while the other saw has him revisiting three of older cuts: 'Blues & the Abstract Truth', 'Black Brown & Beautiful' and 'Stolen Moments'.
