Abstract Truths: An Evolving Jazz Compendium — Volume Two

Volume two of Abstract Truths, An Evolving Jazz Compendium. If unfamiliar with the series, please first read here about the its genesis and intention. As promised, this installment is courtesy of dj/record collector Carlos Nino. Per his selections, Niî±o notes “I was thinking about Bobby Hutcherson and my Father Pablo Niî±o who had just transitioned from the Earth, and the great Michael White who has been going through serious health challenges. Listening back I feel that the music is diverse, textural and soulful, bringing together some new and old favorites, classics, and obscurities .” Next up, our third volume in the series comes via Egon, of Now Again Records.
