Communication (Nelson Riddle album)


Communication is a 1971 album by Nelson Riddle and his orchestra. It was Riddle's first album for German record label MPS, followed by Changing Colors in 1972.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Jason Ankeny awarded the album four and a half stars and said the album is an "intoxicating mosaic of jazz, pop, and Latin elements...stands as a monumental testament to Riddle's consummate skill as an arranger and his almost alchemical faculty for creating a seamless whole from disparate parts".
