Oliver Edward Nelson in London with Oily Rags is an album by Oliver Nelson featuring performances recorded in London in 1974 for the Flying Dutchman label.[1] [2] Supporting Nelson was the band Oily Rags, which featured Chas Hodges and Dave Peacock (later of Chas & Dave), who also wrote three of the album's songs.
The Allmusic site awarded the album 1½ stars stating "Nelson plays well and there are some good moments (particularly on Jobim's "Meditation") but most of the backup musicians sound quite anonymous and little of significance occurs".
