Oliver Nelson merged the rhythmic fervor of Africa and Black America with the organizational flair of Europe on this release.
The often spectacular work features the orchestra sometimes whooping and clashing in the backdrop and other times giving soulful statements or converging in a blues setting.
While Nelson combined Afro-Latin rhythmic support from Ray Barretto with crisp jazz drumming from Ed Shaughnessy, he also contributed his own soaring alto and tenor sax solos and conducted the orchestra.
It was a monumental job, and Nelson exceeded it.
