Although not as well known as its older cousin, Oliver Nelson's 1965 album "More Blues and the Abstract Truth" is still one of the finest small group jazz dates of its time. Nelson did not play on these recordings himself, opting instead for an all-star lineup consisting of Thad Jones or Danny Moore on trumpet, Phil Woods on alto sax, Ben Webster and Phil Bodner on tenor sax, Pepper Adams on baritone sax, Roger Kellaway on piano, Richard Davis on bass and Grady Tate on drums. Although each of Nelson's arrangements display several of his trademark harmonic tricks (fourth-based patterns, half-step rubs, etc), there is an impressive amount of musical diversity among the selections from these recordings.
"One for Bob" is a simple 16 bar melody, with complexities added from a groove that shifts back and forth between a 12/8 Afro-Cuban feel and a straight ahead 4/4 swing feel.
