The Blues and the Abstract Truth is an album by American composer and jazz saxophonist Oliver Nelson recorded in February 1961 for the Impulse! label. 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. Baritone saxophonist George Barrow does not take solos but remains a key feature in the subtle voicings of Nelson's arrangements. The album is often noted for its unique ensemble arrangements and is frequently identified as a progenitor of Nelson's move towards arranging later in his career.

  • The Blues and the Abstract Truth és l'àlbum de jazz més aclamat d' gravat el febrer de 1961. Inclou una formació plena de grans músics: Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy (en la seva última aparició a un àlbum de Nelson d'una sèrie de colaboracion gravades per Prestige), Bill Evans (en la seva única aparició amb Nelson), i . El saxofonista baríton George Barrow no fa cap solo però és una peça clau en el subtil joc de veus dels arranjaments de Nelson. L'àlbum és una exploració del mode i l'estructura del blues, tanmateix només alguns dels talls estan escrits en la forma convencional de 12 compassos del blues. In this regard, though it is not , it may be seen as a continuation of the trend towards greater harmonic simplicity and subtlety via reimagined versions of the blues that was instigated by Miles Davis's Kind of Blue in 1959 (Evans and Chambers played on both albums). Of the pieces on Nelson's album, "" is the most famous; it is a sixteen-bar piece (in an eight-six-two pattern), though the solos are on a conventional 12-bar minor-key blues structure in . "Hoe-Down" is built on a forty-four-bar structure (with thirty-two-bar solos based on "rhythm changes"). "Cascades" modifies the traditional 32-bar AABA form by using a 16-bar minor blues for the A section, stretching the form to a total of 56 bars. The B-side of the album contains three tracks that hew closer to 12-bar form: "Yearnin'", "Butch and Butch" and "Teenie's Blues". Nelson's later album, More Blues and the Abstract Truth, features an entirely different band and bears little resemblance to this record. In 2008, pianist released "The Blues and The Abstract Truth, Take 2", a tribute to the original album featuring new arrangements. (ca)

  • The Blues and the Abstract Truth est un album du saxophoniste de Jazz Oliver Nelson, enregistré et publié en 1961. Enregistrement le plus réputé de Nelson, l'album est basé sur un principe original : jouer sur des structures harmoniques classiques du Jazz (blues et anatole) en adaptant la structure aux idées musicales du compositeur, et non l'inverse. Les compositions et arrangements d'Oliver Nelson font de ce disque une pierre angulaire du Hard bop. En 2008, le pianiste Bill Cunliffe a sorti The Blues and The Abstract Truth, Take 2, un hommage à l'album de Nelson, avec des arrangements différents. (fr)
