Bobby Hutcherson: Wise One
by Ken Dryden
Recently named NEA Jazz Master, Bobby Hutcherson has an extensive discography, though opportunities to record as a leader have slowed a good bit since the dawn of the 21st century.

The Inbetweens: Quantum Cowboy
by Elliott Simon
Electric guitarist Mike Gamble rules the traditional blues/rock/funk corners of his instrument extremely well but it is his artistry and compositional command that make these creative improvisations worthy of multiple listens.
