A stone cold hard bop classic and a true all-star affair, The Blues And The Abstract Truth finds Oliver Nelson leading a group of some of the most talented and progressive jazz musicians playing in the early 1960s. Nelson composed and arranged the tracks on the album, and did so in a fashion that just about summed up the essence of the hard bop sound that had been building momentum since the mid-1950s.
