Description
Oliver Nelson 1st Press US LP More blues VG+ '65 Impulse AS75 RVG Jazz Hard Bop
Original 1st Press US LP released in 1965 on Impulse Records. Cat: AS-75. Comes in heavy weight gloss gatefold Sleeve. Has Van Gelder & Stereo stamped into runout groove.
Uncovered in the out back of N.S.W. this record is part of a recent collection stored and unplayed for the last 20 years. Collected during the 90's and mostly sourced from overseas kept in a cool dry cellar there are some tasty gems on offer and we look forward on listing them over the next few months.
Unlike the original classic Blues and the Abstract Truth set from three years earlier, Oliver Nelson does not play on this album. He did contribute three of the eight originals and all of the arrangements but his decision not to play is disappointing. However there are some strong moments from such all-stars as trumpeter Thad Jones, altoist Phil Woods, baritonist Pepper Adams, pianist Roger Kellaway and guest tenor Ben Webster (who is on two songs). The emphasis is on blues-based pieces and there are some strong moments even if the date falls short of its predecessor.
Tracks : Blues and the abstract truth/ Blues O'mighty/ Theme from Dr. Broadway/ Midnight blue/ The critic's choice/ One for Bob/ Blues for Mr. Broadway/ Goin' to Chicago blues..
There are a few light spindle marks on labels. Record i has some light scuff marks and very light scratches that cause some light crackles, there are a few light clicks and pops on side two but overall plays nicely and is in VG+ condition. Heavy weight gloss gatefold sleeve has some small surface tears around edges and some light marks and is in VG+ condition.
