The Blues and the Abstract Truth is an album by American composer and jazz saxophonist Oliver Nelson recorded in February 1961. It remains Nelson's most acclaimed album and features a lineup of notable musicians: Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy (his second-to-last appearance on a Nelson album following a series of collaborations recorded for Prestige), Bill Evans (his only appearance with Nelson), Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes

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. It's a thing of beauty that is more timeless as the years pass. The "Blues" aspect is best heard on "Yearnin'," a stylish, swinging, and swaying downhearted piece that is a bluesy as Evans would ever be.

More Blues and the Abstract Truth. More Blues and the Abstract Truth is an album by American jazz composer, conductor and arranger Oliver Nelson featuring performances recorded in 1964 for the Impulse! label.

x player Oliver Nelson’s The Blues and the Abstract Truth is one of the gems of the mid-60s. It’s not a great classic, though it comes close to it, but it’s one of those albums that is so well conceived and executed -the arrangements and the playing-that you keep coming back to it to listen. The other giants on this album were pianist Evans and Roy Haynes on drums. Chambers was a more than competent bassist and especially good at propelling a group along. This outing is one of Evans’s less exciting ones: his solo passages are solid but never take off.
