Full Nelson jazz album by Oliver Nelson recorded in 1962 and 1963, and released on Verve Records. It is one of his first big band albums.[ 4] Hoe Down , originally based on an Aaron Copland composition, which initially appeared in a septet version on The Blues and the Abstract Truth Clark Terry .
Down Beat Harvey Pekar wrote that, "Nelson's alto work is featured on Full Nelson , Skokiaan , and Leonard Bernstein's Cool . He plays fluently and melodically with a somewhat harder tone than he has used in the past. Back Woods is a humorous piece, dedicated to Phil Woods and spotlighting his biting alto playing."[ 2]
