As they say: Like father, like son.
But this story is not about Prince; it's about his late father, John L. Nelson.
His music is about to get discovered — or rediscovered — via a new CD lovingly put together by his oldest child, Sharon Nelson.
It's called "Don't Play With Love" by the John L. Nelson Project. It features seven of his compositions interpreted by a top-notch instrumental band led by distinguished jazz drummer Louis Hayes, who has played with John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley, among others, and happens to be Nelson's nephew.
"He liked bebop," Sharon said Tuesday of her father, who died in 2001 at age 85. "This is jazz."
