Eric Dolphy's inhales just before blowing the flute are chilling. Almost ghostly. All in all a stupendous track!

The piece first appeared as "The Stolen Moment" on the 1960 album "Trane Whistle" by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, which was largely written and co-arranged by Oliver Nelson. It was not marked out as anything special, in fact the covernotes only mention that the trumpet solo is by Bob Bryant and that Eric Dolphy's bass clarinet can be heard briefly on the closing. However, in the liner notes to Eric Dolphy: The Complete Prestige Recordings, Bill Kirchner states that this incorrectly credits Dolphy with playing what's actually the baritone saxophone of George Barrow, with Dolphy's contribution to the piece being the 2nd alto behind Nelson. Its first well-known recording was the version on Nelson's own 1961 album The Blues and the Abstract Truth. Nelson's solo on this version contains "possibly the most famous" use of the augmented scale in jazz. >> Frank Zappa also covered the song on the "Broadway the Hard Way" album.

Reminds me a bit of the Miles/Gil Evans stuff, but less fussy and given more of a chance to stretch out. Thusly, I prefer this

Like that reverb in the middle of the track. It's very classy sounding. My first listen to this fella I've been missing out.

grande blues veramente il jazz e una musica colta anche se molti classici ritengono il contrario viva il jazz sempre.
