Last week, following my series on organ combos, Bill Kirchner sent along a terrific Backgrounder suggestion: Oliver Nelson's Taking Care of Business, Nelson's second leadership date. Recorded in March 1960, the album featured Oliver Nelson (as,ts), Lem Winchester (vib), Johnny Hammond" Smith (org), George Tucker (b) and Roy Haynes (d).
The tracks:
Here's Oliver Nelson's Talking Care of Business without ad interruptions...
As for that little cooker at the end called Groove, Bill also sent along this track of Groove by Maynard Ferguson in 1963 arranged by Nelson.

- Trane Whistle (Oliver Nelson)
- Doxy (Sonny Rollins)
- In Time (Nelson)
- Lou's Good Dues Blues (Nelson)
