On this 2008 release, Grammy-nominated pianist, composer and arranger Bill Cunliffe doesn’t so much reinvent a modern jazz classic as open it up for incisive interpretation. Working with clean, uncluttered arrangements and a stellar nine-piece cast of improvisers, Cunliffe explores Oliver Nelson’s beloved 1961 Impulse! album The Blues and the Abstract Truth. Recreating the original running order, this tribute is packed with inventive takes realized by guests including Terrell Stafford on trumpet, Jeff Clayton and Bob Sheppard on saxophones and trombonist Andy Martin. Cunliffe fleshes out the tracklist with a couple of his own compositions, written in the spirit of Nelson’s iconic recording.
