Oliver Nelson: The Blues And Abstract Truth (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series) LP

Description

Impulse!, 1961

Even if Oliver Nelson had only ever written the majestic “Stolen Moments” he’d be a heavyweight, but that’s just the opening track of this all-time classic album. This is where Nelson reveals the astonishing skills as composer and arranger that would come to dominate his career; with a collection of deep blues and hard bop swingers draped in lush, luxuriant arrangements and played by a world-class band. Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard is on fire throughout, Eric Dolphy is a quirky wild card on alto sax and flute, and Bill Evans is sophistication personified at the piano. It doesn’t get much better.
