Oliver Nelson - Three Dimensions
Review by Dan Lis
Oliver Nelson's album "Three Dimensions" is a jazz masterpiece that showcases the musician's exceptional talent and creativity. The album features a range of styles, from upbeat swing to soulful ballads, and highlights Nelson's impressive skills as a composer, arranger, and saxophonist.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Stolen Moments," a classic jazz tune that Nelson arranged and recorded with a 19-piece orchestra. The track features a beautiful melody and intricate solos from Nelson and other members of the ensemble. Another highlight is "Teenie's Blues," a funky, bluesy number that showcases Nelson's ability to blend different styles and create something truly unique.
Throughout the album, Nelson's saxophone playing is exceptional, with his tone and phrasing perfectly capturing the mood of each track. His arrangements are also top-notch, with each instrument and section contributing to a cohesive and dynamic sound.
