Oliver Nelson was a terrific all-around musician: saxophonist, composer and arranger. His classic "Stolen Moments" is my all-time-favorite jazz composition. This is the most famous version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbaGDDbpcQ4. My favorite is the big-band version recorded at the Montreaux Jazz Festival: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wRdynp4spw.

Nancy Wilson has always been a great singer.
I had all of her albums in the days we had albums.
