Stollen Moments (apology to Oliver Nelson)

DateMonday, January 4, 2010 at 4:31PM

By Larry Kilbourne

Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis's rendition of Oliver Nelson's classic "Stolen Moments" on Trane Whistle is one of my favorites.  I'd put up the 'wall of sound' his big band's horns created on this classic with anything rock and roll ever aspired to.

That said, I had my own stollen moment over the holidays, and the result was very pleasing.  Akin to panettone, but without any of the latter's agonies in creation (hanging it upside down overnight after baking to keep it from collapsing, for instance).

The secret is a good, long marinating of the currants, raisins and apricots in lots of rum!

Keeps you in the Holiday spirit(s)!
