  1. Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth

    This post-bop classic from 1961 has a pretty incredible lineup of collaborators, including Bill Evans (piano), Roy Haynes (drums), Eric Dolphy (alto, flute), Oliver Nelson (tenor & alto sax), Paul Chambers (bass), and Freddie Hubbard (trumpet). George Barrow (baritone sax) is not on the cover, because he doesn't solo, but everyone else does...and well.

  2. "One for Phil" Oliver Nelson (More Blues and the Abstract Truth, 1965)
    One of my early Jazz passions. I remember exactly when I first heard it: having dinner alone my glass of wine in hand and the world stopped at 35 seconds into the music. This is a wonderfull ballad with Phil (Woods) himself playing the alto saxophone; Oliver Nelson's arrangement, I believe, was penned during the recording session!
    Gorgeous!
