Better known primarily for his work with big bands, this album found him fronting a much smaller combo and exploring the mood and structure of the blues. To accomplish this, Oliver wrote six tracks, with only some of the tracks being structured in the conventional 12-bar blues form. However, many of the solos are performed in such a style, resulting in a compelling album that has withstood the passage of time extremely well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Impulse!","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57730485617023,"sku":"602435669144","price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/2825\/4773\/files\/Oliver-Nelson-The-Blues-and-the-Abstract-Truth.webp?v=1781198114","url":"https:\/\/vinilo.co.uk\/products\/oliver-nelson-the-blues-and-the-abstract-truth","provider":"Vinilo Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
