comment: Title: A Program of Dance/Jazz Although it is assumed that Oliver Nelson wrote/arranged all of the music accompanying the Ron Davis Dancers, the printed concert program is unclear. The review published in the New York Times indicates that Nelson performed excerpts from his Jazzhattan Suite, presumably during those portions of the program labeled simply as "Music."
