Hey, it's Jazz Orchestra Appreciation Day!*
Here is the Alan Baylock Jazz Orchestra (with Doc Severinsen) performing "Torque"
*in my household
One time I made @Bix listen to this and he acted Iike he'd never heard music before. 🤔 😂
(The Guv has poisoned Bixie's mind about Oliver Nelson. 😉)
@codeWhisperer @Bix
There's more where that came from, like "The Kennedy Dream" tribute album.
But thank YOU for the provocation...cuz I just found a shitload of articles I'd never read (like a long one in Ebony mag from '68!) and THIS ALBUM which features material written for the "Berlin Dream Band." I thought that Nelson had just run them thru standards for a quickie ("Milestones," etc) BUT NO. 😮 🤓
