"Stolen Moments" by Oliver Nelson

Jazz is all about the contrast between the individual and the
collective, and few recordings embody that as beautifully as
"Stolen Moments," the opening track from Oliver Nelson's 1961
hard-bop record The Blues and the Abstract Truth.


On this episode, Kirk dives deep into Nelson's classic tune,
starting with his dense horn arrangement, then considering the
three improvised horn solos as distinct creations that reflect
the at-times wildly different ambitions of each individual
player. Also, there's jazz flute.


Written by: Oliver Nelson


Performed by: Freddie Hubbard (tpt.), Eric
Dolphy (alto/flute), Oliver Nelson (tenor), George Barrow (bari),
Bill Evans (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Roy Haynes (drums).
