CD EDITION - THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 6 BONUS TRACKS - 16-PAGE BOOKLET WITH MEMORABILIA AND UPDATED LINER NOTES. The Blues and the Abstract Truth (Impulse AS-5) was the masterpiece that earned Oliver Nelson widespread recognition as one of the finest arrangers and composers in jazz.

Everything shines here: the wonderful compositions and arrangements, including the splendid Stolen Moments, which would become a standard, and the all-star group featuring Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, and Roy Haynes.

As a bonus, six other Oliver Nelson compositions, also featuring Eric Dolphy and Roy Haynes, including two extended blues and the earliest existing version of Stolen Moments, (originally issued as The Stolen Moment) have been added to the superb edition.

'This LP is a must buy for all jazz collectors, and a Top Ten-Fifty favourite for many.' - ***** AllMusic (Michael G. Nastos)

'Using 12-bar blues and 'I Got Rhythm' as points of departure, Nelson has put together six compositions that show him to be one of the important new writers.' - ***** Down Beat (Don DeMicheal)

One of the 120 Best Jazz Albums: Basis-Diskothek -Jazz, Germany

'Oliver Nelson's 'Stolen Moments' is perhaps the best blues ever written, even if it's not quite discernible as such. A masterpiece with an intensity and quality rarely seen.' - (Ralf Dombrowski)
