THE MAYOR AND THE PEOPLE ~ CARL B. STOKES
A BLACK SUITE FOR STRING QUARTET & JAZZ ORCHESTRA BY OLIVER NELSON
In 1967 Carl B. Stokes was the first elected black mayor of an American city, Cleveland, Ohio. The first side of this album features a highly political press conference that touches on issues of the time, The Black Panthers, genocide and racism.
On the second side is a beautiful seven-movement suite of poetry and spirituals featuring narration again from Carl B. Stokes
This album is not unlike another of my personal favorites from Oliver Nelson, The Kennedy Dream

awesome reza – f**king awesome!
Very very nice Reza. Thanks! Flying Dutchman did some really interested albums like this. I will have to get around to ripping SNCC's Rap....
Oliver Nelson had such depth.
oh boy, looking forward to this.
top man reza
killer! thanks a lot.
Hey Reza! Got Oriental jazz coming for you, it's gonna take awhile though, so, be patient, you will have it in about two months (I'll rip the original vinyl's of Oriental jazz, as well as rips of UofU vols.1 and 2 and Near and Far East!)
Hope all is well with you and yours! JP
Another sublime album by the Great Oliver Nelson !
Thanks a Lot for this ....

Even though I have the vinyl these links come from a contributor @ Jazz Nekko's who has made a nice job of the rip
Reza! Remember me? This is Harshawardhan. The guy you shared the DON background score with. Time for me to thank you royally.
I read your request for THE SOUL OF BOBBY at Stella's blog.
I would be gladddd to share it with you. Please let me know your email and I can send you the link.
Thanks alot Reza! You are awesome =)
Harshi Lan, I thank you for the offer, but think you are mistaken as to me wanting the album as I have had Soul of Bobby on vinyl for some years now
Oliver Nelson is amazing. The score and incidental music he did for the Six Million Dollar Man T.V. series is incredible too! Violins, tom toms, snares...great stuff.
Oh alright ! Sure thing.
Not a problem. But yes! I still have the "NEAR AND FAR EAST" on vinyl which I am eager to share with you. I am just waiting to get it ripped! If you were nearby somewhere in California, I would seriously mail in the vinyl to you and you could rip it in your own way. But no worries! I will definitely share it with you =)
Thanks alot!
Not the right place but...
Salah Ragab RIP
Via Sun Ra list:
Salah Ragab, drummer and founder - together with Hartmut Geerken and Edu Vizvari - of the first Egyptian jazz-bigband, died beginning of July [10] in Cairo, aged 72...
Sad loss, all praises due.
