    About this album

    Oliver Nelson’s The Blues And The Abstract Truth is a landmark of modern jazz, balancing hard bop drive with the modal openness that would shape the 1960s. Recorded in 1961 with an extraordinary line-up including Bill Evans, Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy, Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes, the album gave Nelson’s writing a rare combination of sophistication and direct emotional force. The best-known piece, “Stolen Moments”, became one of jazz’s great signature tunes, while the rest of the programme confirms the record’s status as a concise, brilliantly arranged classic. Its blend of ensemble colour, flowing solos and inventive harmony keeps it central to the jazz canon.
