Bobby Hutcherson: Youthful Exuberance
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Watching vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson play his instrument is like dropping in on someone jiving with a dear old friend. He banters with the vibes as he plays, weaving his lanky body to the rhythm he's laying down. Suddenly he will frown down at the board, appearing to question its tone as though it were an insolent ...
Bobby Hutcherson: Happenings
by Chris May
Recorded in 1966, and here with a 24-bit remaster by original engineer Rudy Van Gelder, Happenings heralded a new, less structurally adventurous approach from avant-garde standard-bearer and vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson. As such it is, inevitably if rather unfairly--the individual performances are outstanding--less of a headline affair than the work which came before it. Happenings is the ...
Bobby Hutcherson: Oblique
by Kevin Ray
This album, recorded in 1967, is so special that it's hard to imagine why it wasn't released until 1980--and even then, only in Japan. Energy, creativity and empathy permeate it, and the players fit together wonderfully. Bassist Albert Stinson is subtle and inventive, making it all the more of a loss that he died two years ...

Bobby Hutcherson: Oblique
by Chris May
A welcome and worthwhile addition to Blue Note's Rudy Van Gelder remaster series, Oblique is one of only two quartet albums Bobby Hutcherson recorded for the label, and it's the most enduring by a long mile. Two tracks in particular, “Oblique" and “Bi-Sectional," both by genius drummer/composer Joe Chambers, are bona fide, five star hall-of-fame greats.
Bobby Hutcherson: Now!
by Russ Musto
Few records capture and transcend their moment in time as definitively as Now!. Recorded in 1969, the disc emotionally echoes sentiments central to the black power movement of the day. The music is strong, passionate, sensitive, optimistic, and--like the struggle it heralded--timeless. The premier vibraphonist/composer of his generation, Bobby Hutcherson had already expanded the modern jazz ...
Dialogue and Consummation
by David Adler
Recorded five years apart, these two Blue Note reissues highlight jazz creativity of very different kinds. Bobby Hutcherson's Dialogue is a shining example of what can be called the Andrew Hill aesthetic. Thad Jones & Mel Lewis's Consummation features the highly original big-band craftsmanship of the late Thad Jones. Interestingly, Richard Davis is the bassist on ...
