Description

This is an original, 1st pressing copy of the 1961 Oliver Nelson Lp "Blues And The Abstract Truth", Impulse A-5. Both the record and gatefold cover are in NM condition. Review by Scott Yanow 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.
