Oliver Nelson - The Blues And The Abstract Truth

Impulse! - LP

Hard Bop / Modal

A landmark of orchestrated hard bop, The Blues And The Abstract Truth is Oliver Nelson as his compositional and arranging peak. Stellar lineup with Eric Dolphy, Bill Evans, Freddie Hubbard, Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes, a balance between intricate ensemble writing and inspired soloing. Stolen Moments remains an important jazz standard of the era... 1972 japanese pressing.
