LarryCurleyMoe Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 Greetings, Tuesday night, May 13 at 8:00pm (CST) I will be interviewing Oliver Nelson, Jr. about his father's life and work, as well as what ON, Jr. is doing these days. He is a student here at U of Illinois in Jazz Studies and I met up with him at a local gig (w/ Jim Snidero & others) last month. Listen on line at WEFT Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted May 10, 2014 Report Posted May 10, 2014 Will you ask about his film and TV scores, and in particular, can you ask if the tapes to any of his scores for "The Six Million Dollar Man" exist? Quote

l p Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 maybe he know if the wes montgomery verve session tapes exist without the orchestras. most of those wes verve/a&m albums would be masterpieces if it wasn't for the bombastic backing orchestras. Quote
LarryCurleyMoe Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Posted May 15, 2014 Sorry this didn't happen. Problems with phone interface at station. Working to reschedule. Oliver Jr. is cool with it. Will repost here when new date is arrived at. Quote
JSngry Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Sorry to hear that. How old is he now? I have him on a Billy Wooten record! Quote
LarryCurleyMoe Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Posted May 20, 2014 Right around 60 yrs. old I believe. I think he's on the Wooten Lost Tapes cd. I want to ask him about his music making in Indianapolis. ON Jr. is quite a piccolo player...influenced by Hubert Laws. Has harmonic aspects of ON Sr.'s playing in his. Quite a fine musician in his own right. Anyway, as soon as he lets me know, I'll post here when the rescheduled interview will be. Quote
LarryCurleyMoe Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Posted August 24, 2014 Hello Friends, My interview has been rescheduled for 8:00pm (CST) THIS TUESDAY 8/26/2014 at the link above. Hope you can listen! - Michael Sczerba Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted August 24, 2014 Report Posted August 24, 2014 Awesome! PLLEEEEZZE ask him about the existence of tapes of Oliver Senior's TV scores, especially The Six Million Dollar Man. In cases where the masters are gone - which is not unusual for TV shows of that era - composers often kept reel-to-reel tapes of their scores. Quote
JSngry Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 I'd like to know how much of Sr.'s music remains unrecorded, or even unpublished. I'm thinking in particular of works that would fall outside of the "jazz mainstream". Quote
LarryCurleyMoe Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Posted August 25, 2014 Jim and TTK - I will ask! Quote
LarryCurleyMoe Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Posted August 28, 2014 He didn't call because he was studying for a music theory exam. I am so sorry to disappoint. I may just let this slide as I don't have regular access to the WEFT airwaves. Quote
