OLIVER NELSON SEXTET ft. ERIC DOLPHY | RICHARD WILLIAMS — Screamin' the Blues (1960) Two Version | 1991, RM | Original Jazz Classics – OJCCD-080-2 + 2018, SACD | The Prestige Stereo Series | FLAC (tracks+.image+.cue), lossless

Oliver Nelson (on tenor and alto sax) meets Eric Dolphy (alto, bass clarinet and flute) on this frequently exciting sextet session with trumpeter Richard Williams, pianist Richard Wyands, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Roy Haynes. Although Dolphy is too unique and skilled to be overshadowed in a setting such as this, Nelson holds his own. He contributed five of the six compositions (including "Screamin' the Blues," "The Meetin'," and "Alto-Itis") and effectively matches wits and creative ideas with Dolphy. Scott Yanow
