THE BLUES AND THE ABSTRACT TRUTH

Description:
This was Oliver Nelson's finest recording and one of the top jazz albums of 1961, a true classic. The lineup is an inspired one: Nelson on tenor and alto, Eric Dolphy doubling on alto and flute, a young trumpeter named Freddie Hubbard, baritonist George Barrow for section parts, pianist Bill Evans, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Roy Haynes. The contrasting voices of the soloists really uplift these superior compositions, which are highlighted by "Stolen Moments" a future standard, the fun "Hoe Down," and "Yearnin'." Dolphy cuts everyone, but Nelson and Hubbard are also in top form.
