Leonard Feather's Encyclopedia of Jazz (aka Encyclopedia of Jazz, Vol. 1) is a compilation album of pieces by Oliver Nelson and others assembled by Leonard Feather. It was recorded in 1965 and 1966 for Verve Records.[1] In 2006, Mosaic Records released all the Oliver Nelson tracks, together with some unissued pieces recorded at the same session, on the second CD of the compilation Oliver Nelson: The Argo, Verve and Impulse Big Band Studio Sessions. Some of them were also included at the time on Leonard Feather Presents the Sound of Feeling and the Sound of Oliver Nelson (V6-8743, 1968).
