Got My Mojo Workin' is a 1966 album by Jimmy Smith arranged by Oliver Nelson.

Review by Stephen Cook

After seven high-quality years with Blue Note, organist Jimmy Smith switched over to the Verve label...Got My Mojo Workin', finds the B-3 innovator mixing it up with organ and guitar combo swingers and big band charts compliments of arranger Oliver Nelson. On the first half of the disc, Smith delves into the day's chart-topping terrain with passable shots at the Stevie Wonder hit "High Heel Sneakers," Jagger and Richard's "Satisfaction," and the pop candy of "1-2-3.".. Aided by the stellar likes Kenny Burrell, Ernie Royal, Phil Woods, Ron Carter, and Grady Tate, Got My Mojo Workin' is not a top Smith release, but one dedicated fans will probably want to check out.

Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth

This post-bop classic from 1961 has a pretty incredible lineup of collaborators, including Bill Evans (piano), Roy Haynes (drums), Eric Dolphy (alto, flute), Oliver Nelson (tenor & alto sax), Paul Chambers (bass), and Freddie Hubbard (trumpet). George Barrow (baritone sax) is not on the cover, because he doesn't solo, but everyone else does...and well.

Nocturne is an album by American saxophonist Oliver Nelson and vibraphonist Lem Winchester. It was originally released in 1961 by Prestige Records, as part of their "Moodsville Series". As the title implies, Nocturne is a collection of mellow songs with relaxed, late-night feeling. - Wikipedia

The Blues and the Abstract Truth is an album by American composer and jazz saxophonist Oliver Nelson recorded in February 1961 for the Impulse! label. It remains Nelson's most acclaimed album and features a lineup of notable musicians: Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy (his second-to-last appearance on a Nelson album following a series of collaborations recorded for Prestige), Bill Evans (his only appearance with Nelson), Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes. Baritone saxophonist George Barrow does not take solos but remains a key feature in the subtle voicings of Nelson's arrangements...

Among the pieces on the album, "Stolen Moments" is the best known and has become a jazz standard: a 16-bar piece with solos in a conventional 12-bar minor blues structure in C minor...

The Jazz Journal International cited the album as "one of the essential post-bop recordings." - Wikipedia
