Title: Blues & The Abstract Truth - Yellow Vinyl
Artist: Nelson, Oliver
Label: Ermitage Import
Product Type: VINYL LP
UPC: 3770024957112
Genre: Jazz
The Blues and the Abstract Truth is not just a landmark album in Oliver Nelson's career but in the history of jazz itself. The album features an incredible ensemble of top-tier jazz musicians, often referred to as a "supergroup": Oliver Nelson (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone, flute), George Barrow (baritone saxophone), Bill Evans (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Roy Haynes (drums). The early 1960s were marked by a shift from the hard bop of the 1950s to more experimental forms, including modal jazz, free jazz, and the incorporation of avant-garde elements. Musicians like John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, and Charles Mingus were all pushing the boundaries of jazz, and Oliver Nelson's work fits within this broader movement: in this album there's a perfect combination of modern compositional techniques, virtuosic performances, and emotional depth make it an essential listening experience for any jazz fan. It captures the moment when jazz was evolving into new, exciting directions while staying connected to it's roots in the blues. The Blues and the Abstract Truth is considered one of the essential albums in modern jazz where Oliver Nelson's compositional style blends hard bop, modal jazz, and blues influences with sophisticated harmonic structures and striking arrangements. The album is noted for it's rich orchestration despite having a relatively small ensemble with use of textures and colours, particularly in tracks like "Stolen Moments," created a new standard in jazz arranging.
Tracks:
1.1 Stolen Moments
1.2 Hoe Down
1.3 Cascades
1.4 Yearnin'
1.5 Butch and Butch
1.6 Teenie's Blues
