Oliver Nelson - Blues And The Abstract Truth - Acoustic Sounds Series LP

180-Gram Vinyl, Acoustic Sounds Series, Gatefold Tip-On Jacket

Originally released in 1961, The Blues and the Abstract Truth is Oliver Nelson's triumph as both composer and bandleader, assembling one of the most potent modern jazz sextets ever put on tape. Best known for the all-time classic "Stolen Moments," the album teams Nelson on alto and tenor with Eric Dolphy, Freddie Hubbard at his peak, and a flawless rhythm section of Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes. A definitive statement of an era.
