Description
As Oliver Nelson is known primarily as a big band leader and arranger, he is lesser known as a saxophonist and organizer of small ensembles. Blues And The Abstract Truth is his triumph as a musician for the aspects of not only defining the sound of an era with his all-time classic "Stolen Moments," but on this recording, assembling one of the most potent modern jazz sextets ever. Lead trumpeter Freddie Hubbard is at his peak of performance, while alto saxophonists Nelson and Eric Dolphy (Nelson doubling on tenor) team to for an unlikely union that was simmered to perfection. Bill Evans (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Roy Haynes (drums) can do no wrong as a rhythm section.
Originally released in 1961.

PLEASE NOTE: you must have a reel to reel machine capable of playing tape at 15ips (most machines only play 3.75 and 7.5ips which is too slow) and CCIR equalisation (most machines only play NAB). We recommend a well serviced machine like Studer A810, Otari MX-5050, Sony TC880-2, Revox B77 MkIII (only this latest model plays CCIR at 15ips) etc.
