Original Tribute to Oliver Nelson | Hard Bop Architect, Big Band Genius & Jazz Legacy

Benvenuti a un nuovo appuntamento della serie Original Tribute, interamente dedicato al genio compositivo, alla maestria negli arrangiamenti e all'inconfondibile sassofono di Oliver Nelson.

Architetto fondamentale del Jazz moderno e dell'Hard Bop, Oliver Nelson ha firmato alcune delle pagine più iconiche della storia della musica. In quest'ora ripercorriamo le tappe cruciali della sua carriera: dagli immortali capolavori tratti da "The Blues and the Abstract Truth" come "Stolen Moments", "Yearnin'" e "Cascades", fino all'energia travolgente delle sue composizioni per big band e piccoli ensemble come "Trane Whistle", "I Remember Bird" e "Step Right Up". Spazio anche alla sua celebre collaborazione con Richard 'Groove' Holmes per il tema de "Six Million Dollar Man", a gemme orchestrali come "Black, Brown & Beautiful" e alle sfumature blues di "Midnight Blue".

Un viaggio essenziale nella perfezione formale, nello swing e nell'armonia d'autore.
