Our Take

Oliver Nelson's "Blues And The Abstract Truth" is a swinging, soulful masterpiece that will have you tapping your toes and snapping your fingers from start to finish. This album is a jazz lover's dream come true, filled with intricate arrangements and stellar performances that will transport you to a smoky nightclub in the heart of New York City.

From the opening notes of the title track, Nelson's masterful saxophone playing sets the tone for the rest of the album. Each track is like a mini jazz odyssey, taking you on a journey through the highs and lows of the blues, with plenty of unexpected twists and turns along the way.

The standout track on the album has to be "Stolen Moments," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Nelson's incredible talent as a composer and arranger. The interplay between the horns and the rhythm section is nothing short of magical, creating a sense of tension and release that will leave you breathless.

Overall, "Blues And The Abstract Truth" is a timeless classic that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. Oliver Nelson has crafted a work of art that is both accessible and complex, a true testament to his talent and vision as a musician. So pour yourself a drink, dim the lights, and let the music wash over you - you won't be disappointed.
