{"product_id":"oliver-nelson-the-blues-and-the-abstract-truth","title":"The Blues And The Abstract Truth","description":"Personnel: Oliver Nelson (alto \u0026amp; tenor saxophones); Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone, flute); George Barrow (baritone saxophone); Freddie Hubbard (trumpet); Bill Evans (piano); Paul Chambers (bass); Roy Haynes (drums).Recorded at Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on February 23, 1961. Includes liner notes by Oliver Nelson.The late Oliver Nelson had such a successful career as a composer of film and TV music (\"Theme From the Six Million Dollar Man\") and arranger that it often overshadowed his abilities as a jazz musician. In 1961, Nelson assembled a fantastic small ensemble, including Eric Dolphy, Bill Evans, and Freddie Hubbard, for a session of six original compositions. Nelson was also an excellent, bluesy-toned saxophonist (heard here on tenor and alto) and his tunes cover a variety of moods, from the elegiac \"Stolen Moments\" to the wryly humorous, Aaron Copeland-like \"Hoe-Down\" to the rippling \"Cascades.\" Dolphy's edgy, vocally inspired alto sound, the surging brassy tone of Hubbard's trumpet, and the swinging lyricism of Bill Evans make a potent combination, contributing to BLUES's status as a classic of post-bop jazz.","brand":"Oliver Nelson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44584667513065,"sku":"LLKUYN-J1XZ-00","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/oliver-nelson-the-blues-and-the-abstract-truth_rkp9j.jpg?v=1759209599","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/oliver-nelson-the-blues-and-the-abstract-truth","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
