Impulse! Nights: Blues and the Abstract Truth featuring Roy Hargrove

The venerable jazz label Impulse! has been termed "the house that Trane built," but the roster extended well beyond John Coltrane and the energy-jazz coterie around him. One of the best things about Impulse! Nights, a weeklong celebration of the label's 50th anniversary, is the attention being paid to some of its other classic LPs. Case in point: Tonight, trumpeter Roy Hargrove revisits Oliver Nelson's essential postbop session Blues and the Abstract Truth, with a brilliant combo featuring saxophonist David Sanchez and pianist George Cables.
