Live from Los Angeles is an album by American jazz composer/arranger Oliver Nelson featuring performances recorded in 1967 for the Impulse!
The initial Billboard magazine review from February 1968 wrote that: "Here's a driving high flying record from start to finish.
It's jazz at its exciting best as Nelson's arranging conducting and zippy sax work lead real quality playing...".
[4] The Allmusic review by Douglas Payne awarded the album 2 stars stating: "Oliver Nelson's live recordings don't seem as sharp as his studio stuff.
Good playing, though, from a good group of West Coasters, but nothing exciting happens".
