about

A long anticipated release, the songs of John L Nelson brought to life at Paisley Park by Sharon L. Nelson an an all star band led by the great Louis Hayes. Shelved for a time due to John L. Nelson's frequent collaborations with Prince, the music sheet music re-appeared in a rather serendipitous fashion and destiny was fulfilled. Sublime in its presentation, with classic melodies that the writer mastered, Don't Play With Love brings a rich past right to the present day. More information is available at ropeadope.com/jln

this work is what got me deep into jazz. first heard his horn on Boogie's EVERYTHING'S FOR SALE. Looked him up and found STRETCH MUSIC! THE CENTENNIAL TRILOGY bridged that gap between hip hop/r&b and jazz for me. Amazing musicians are featured with Scott throughout this work. one of my favorite albums to date! G.I. Native
