Elaborations is an album by the American jazz saxophonist Arthur Blythe, released in 1982.

[1][2] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "This post bop music (which falls between advanced hard bop and the avant-garde) is well worth several listens".

[3] In The Boston Phoenix, Bob Blumenthal focused on cellist Abdul Wadud's playing ("his bowing is clear and mobile as a violinist's, his lines are sweeping and rhapsodic"), but also noted that "there are other rewards as well on Elaborations: Stewart's barrel-chested blowing, Bell's growing assertiveness, Blythe’s invigorating swing".
