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.

Oliver Nelson - tenor saxophone, alto saxophone (#6)
Freddie Hubbard - trumpet
Eric Dolphy - alto saxophone, flute, bass clarinet
George Barrow - baritone saxophone
Bill Evans - piano
Paul Chambers - bass
Roy Haynes - drums
Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ on February 23, 1961.
