Oliver Nelson on Prestige

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Somehow I didn't see your post about the Spinners. I think you've nailed it. Someone mixed up the titles.

There WAS an office at Prestige. Joe Fields worked in it, doing stuff for Bob and whatever was needed, learning the business (and probably what you could get away with). Esmond was in it before he became a photographer and then producer. And if Bob Weinstock didn't have a secretary, I'm a French beer salesman.

MG

Aha! And Zev Feldman claims he's the jazz detective!

For some  reason, many folks miss "Nocturne" on Prestige Moodsville  w/ Lem Winchester, Richard Wyands, George Duvivier & Roy Haynes. A fine date.

Got that on a Nelson compilation. Will listen.

Any guesses as to what kind of car that is? I wonder if it's Roy's.

And just in case you haven't listened to the album in a while, or have misplaced it (I do that), here it is.

Roof line suggests a circa 1960 GM car - possibly a Cadillac DeVille.

In Italy in the early sixties we would have called a bus not a car. Italian car at times were built for trios not sextet

That would have contributed to some great cover art.

[porcy62]

Definitely.

You were right about sextets ...
