The record
A big-band showcase from Nelson's mid-'60s run, mixing crisp Blue Note-adjacent writing with the crossover instincts he'd bring to Verve pop-jazz dates soon after. Deep bench of Griffin-caliber sidemen -- Woods, Richardson, Snooky Young, Grady Tate -- lend serious muscle to Argo's charts.
