It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Knew his way around all the horns... alto and tenor being the best known...

Held his own with many and worked much with Dolphy, as serious a player as ever... played.

His New Jazz/Prestige recordings are some of my favorites though BAT IS
the apex of his enormous talents.

My favorite of his arranging duties is also on impulse! - Alfie by Sonny Rollins presents an exquisite canvas as deep and enriching as any.
Yet he also managed to arrange my least favorite Monk LP, Monk's Blues. But he was a hired gun there.

Wouldn't say Nelson's later, heavily Thiele tinged records are my cup of tee, but
there's always a tune or two to remind you that he WAS always in charge.
