Purchase Collection CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Oliver Nelson Blues And The Abstract Truth CD (1961) Reissue; Remastered
Collection album
 $9.29 
The late Oliver Nelson had such a successful career as a composer of film and TV music ("Theme From the Six Million Dollar Man") and arranger that it often overshadowed his abilities as a jazz musician. In 1961, Nelson assembled a fantastic small ensemble, including Eric Dolphy, Bill Evans, and Freddie Hubbard, for a session of six original compositions. Nelson was also an excellent, bluesy-toned saxophonist (heard here on tenor and alto) and his tunes cover a variety of moods, from the elegiac "Stolen Moments" to the wryly humorous, Aaron Copeland-like "Hoe-Down" to the rippling "Cascades." Dolphy's edgy, vocally ...

The second Glee soundtrack throws a bone to the show's supporting characters, with Jenna Ushkowitz (the faux-stuttering Tina) singing her first solo and Amber Riley (Mercedes) receiving a larger chunk of airtime. Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison continue to steal the show, though; Morrison delivers one of the album's most inventive songs with a mash-up of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and "Young Girl," while Michele ...

BY A THREAD is Gov't Mule's first studio album since HIGH & MIGHTY was issued in 2006. Since that time, bassist Andy Hess has been replaced by Jorgen Carlsson, though Hess appears on two tracks at the end of the album. Carlsson's playing style is much more aggressive than Hess', and is therefore closer - in spirit anyway - to Gov't Mule's original bassist, the late Allen Woody, though he possesses an adventurous sense of time and is harmonically more colorful than either Woody or Hess. ...

Album Credits:Guitars, bass, keyboards, percussion, & programming by Roger PlacerRecorded and mixed at Chromatic Fury Recording, Oakland NJ USA, and NOT Studios III, Mahwah NJ USAMastered by DiscMastersTrack Notes:01 Blind Angels With ringing open stringed voicings, this tune opens up the disc with a lively ride cymbal-driven backbeat. A slightly overdriven '68 Telecaster provides the melody. One of the more rock-oriented songs on Pursuit, this tune actually has lyrics, but their meaning is shrouded in mystery, so I decided to record it as an instrumental. Its origins go back to 1989; it's one of the last songs ever played by my defunct college band, Crosstalk. We played it during only one rehearsal session - the only evidence of its existence was a cassette made on a Sony Walkman with nearly dead batteries, and it's almost distorted beyond use. The song haunted me throughout the years as one that "slipped away," so I undertook a new arrangement of it, resurrecting the barely discernible parts from a copy of the crippled tape. The vocal melody was modified for better phrasing on guitar, and it just grew on its own from there.02 Bordertown This tune came from a jam session with a trio I used to play with called Helun, although it bears little resemblance to the recorded original. Helun (drums, guitar, bass, weirdness) would get together for improvised jam sessions, and the results - some amazing, others just bizarre - were all tracked to digital multitrack and mixed to DAT tapes. The seed of Bordertown came from its bass line, which plays a less prominent role in the finished piece. The guitars are laced with gentle tremolo effects, and to me the track evokes a desolate but peaceful place on the outskirts of all the bustle, from somewhere near the border of urban craziness.03 October Rendezvous I was staring out my window at a glorious autumn view, complete with distant low-lying mountains. It was evening, and the sun's parting glow battled with the deepening gray and the rich color of the leaves. I had a flashback to my college days, of walking on the green between dorm and classroom on a day just like the one I was seeing, of the promise of the new academic year, of the crispness of the air as leaves fell and one's breath became visible in the cold of the waning twilight. This upbeat tune has a melancholy heart, and is underscored by a clear-toned Gibson hollowbody playing the melodic parts. Lilting synthesizer arpeggios complete the picture.04 The Happiness Of Pursuit Unlike some title tracks which give an album its name, this one inherited its name from the album. A piece in four thematic sections, this track draws on layers of synthesizers (including guitar synth) to create lush textures and lead the listener on a brief but moving aural journey. Guitars (Fender Strat for sparkling rhythm, Gibson ES-135 for the exceptionally warm-toned solo) augment the arrangement. To me, this tune felt the most like the album's concept, as it ventured into different sonic areas, seemingly searching for itself - yet hopefully encountering some beauty along the way.05 Divide And Conquer ...
