Rebop: The Blues And The Abstract Truth

About the show

Mighty septet Rebop revisits saxophonist/composer Oliver Nelson's 1961 classic album The Blues and the Abstract Truth, a moody, modal masterpiece which originally featured Bill Evans, Eric Dolphy, Freddie Hubbard, Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes.

Tonight it is played by Paul Higgs (trumpet), Harry Greene (tenor sax), Tom Smith (alto sax), Chris Ingham (piano), Malcolm Creese (bass) and George Double (drums), plus a mystery baritone saxophonist.
