On June 18, 1971, Oliver Nelson performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival with a luxury big band . They start with a Suite that he baptizes as Switzerland , in honor of the antitrion country. The theme contains spectacular solos. One does not know whether to stay with the alto sax Eddie Cleanhead Vinson, a king of the blues , or with those of a young Argentine tenor named Gato Barbieri, who that night is going to jump to stardom, since it seems that Bernardo Bertolucci is among the public, who is preparing to shoot his next film: Último Tango in Paris , and has just found a composer (and arranger, Nelson) for the soundtrack.
On September 18, 1966 Charles Lloyd arrives at the Monterey Festival with his quartet: Cecil McBee on bass, Jack DeJohnette on drums, and a 20-year-old young pianist: Keith Jarrett. His performance opens with the Forest Flower Suite , made up of two parts: Sunrise and Sunset . The live album would become one of the biggest bestsellers in jazz history, and Down Beat Magazine named Lloyd Jazz of the Year.

I hope these three pieces liven up your day. They are a complete discharge of energy and vitality, of love for life. And now nothing is wrong with us.
