The Blues and the Abstract Truth

Oliver Nelson · 1961

Oliver Nelson's The Blues and the Abstract Truth was released by Impulse! in 1961. Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, Roy Haynes and George Barrow join Nelson. The personnel are striking, but the record's organising intelligence lies in the compositions and the relationships they create.
