THE BLUES AND THE ABSTRACT TRUTH
1961, IMPULSE!
What a lineup: Oliver Nelson, Eric Dolphy, and George Barrow on saxophones, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Roy Haines on drums, Bill Evans on piano, Paul Chambers on bass... In terms of gathering exceptional musicians in tune with their time, it would be hard to do better. Used to leading large orchestras, Oliver Nelson masters the science of arrangement and knows how to make a collective play. Jazz moves here like a high-altitude aircraft, never held back or diverted from its path. And this path is vast. A late classic of the bop era, The Blues and the Abstract Truth is a lesson in groove, with harmonies as beautiful as lilies, fountains of brass, a resonance and clarity unique at every second. Just to hear Eric Dolphy's flute solo on "Stolen Moments," The Blues and the Abstract Truth is essential.
