Impressions of Phaedra is an album by saxophonist/composer/arranger Oliver Nelson recorded in 1962 and released on the United Artists Jazz label. The album features Nelson's arrangements of Mikis Theodorakis music from the 1962 motion picture Phaedra.
The Allmusic site awarded the album 2 stars stating "Moody and long-forgotten, like the film it was inspired by, Phaedra interchanges film-like cues with some torrid jazz content (mostly courtesy of Phil Woods). Makes an interesting case for "Greek Jazz"".
All compositions by Mikis Theodorakis except as indicated
