This is a somewhat ethereal phrase, over a tranquil minor blues. This whole solo is a succession very thoughtful 'developments of a lick', where a very simple idea is repeated, with subtle twists and turns.
I had no idea until looking him up for this blog entry, that the saxophonist, and composer, Oliver Nelson was also responsible for the theme to one of my childhood favourite TV programmes, 'The Six Milion Dollar Man'.

Hey, this is a GREAT site! I just came upon it while doing a bit of research for my own blog post on the augmented scale. I was searching for a solo transcription for Oliver Nelson's "Stolen Moments" solo, just to make sure my memory served me correctly. Found what I need--thanks! I love what you're doing.
