"POSTERITY REMEMBERS OLIVER NELSON (1932-1975) PRIMARILY AS AN ARRANGER/CONDUCTOR. WHEN HE FIRST BEGAN TO ATTRACT ATTENTION WITH A SERIES OF ALBUMS FOR PRESTIGE AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, HOWEVER, NELSON WAS HAILED AS A VERSATILE LEADER OF SMALL GROUPS AND A COMPOSER/INSTRUMENTALIST WHO COULD REFRESH THE MUSIC'S TRADITIONAL VERITIES WHILE ALSO LOOKING AHEAD. THERE IS NO BETTER SHOWCASE FOR THESE SKILLS AMONG HIS INITIAL SESSIONS THAN "SCREAMIN' THE BLUES", A ROUSING SET OF FUNKY MODERNISM INTERPRETED BY A SEXTET OF PLAYERS WHO SHARED NELSON'S ALLEGIANCE TO BOTH VIRTUOSITY AND VISION. THE PAIRING OF SAXOPHONIST ERIC DOLPHY WITH NELSON WAS PARTICULARLY INSPIRED AS BOTH MEN WERE ADAPT ON MORE THAN ONE INSTRUMENT, AND ALLOWED THIS SEXTET TO CREATE AN UNCOMMON DIVERSITY OF COLORS. NELSON AND DOLPHY WOULD REUNITE A YEAR LATER ON BOTH THE CLASSIC "BLUES AND THE ABSTRACT TRUTH" AND (WITH THE BAND HEARD HERE MINUS TRUMPETER RICHARD WILLIAMS) ON THE LOOSER YET INTENSE 'STRAIGHT AHEAD'. WITH RICHARD WILLIAMS, ERIC DOLPHY, RICHARD WYANDS, GEORGE DUVIVIER AND RIOY HAYNES."
