Oliver Nelson - Stolen Moments
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. Lead trumpeter Freddie Hubbard is at his peak of performance, while alto saxophonists Nelson and Eric Dolphy (Nelson doubling on tenor) team to form an unlikely union that was simmered to perfection. Bill Evans (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Roy Haynes (drums) can do no wrong as a rhythm section. “Stolen Moments” really needs no comments, as its undisputable beauty shines through in a three-part horn harmony fronting Hubbard’s lead melody. It’s a thing of beauty that is more timeless as the years pass.

Freddie Hubbard is one of my favorite. His high notes can give you a kick. This musician is electrifying. He played with a nervousness in the fingers that stops you in your track.
Among his magnificent repertoire, I love "Moanin'" with the Jazz messengers, also his improvisation in "Cantaloupe Island" and "Watermelon Man" with Herbie Hancock. He never really tried to fit in one genre. He gives a genuine, complex sound and shakes you to the core. A master.
Freddie Hubbard est un de mes préférés. Ses notes hautes vous secouent. Ce musician est électrifiant. Il joue avec une nervosité dans les doigts qui vous stoppe. Dans son répertoire magnifique, j'aime "Moanin" avec les Jazz Messengers, aussi son improvisation dans "Cantaloupe Island" et "Watermelon Man" avec Herbie Hancock. Il n'a jamais essayé de se fondre dans un genre. Il donne un son vrai, complexe et vous fait vibrer profondément. Un maître.
