Quit The Bullshit....It's Bobby Hutcherson! (And MC Det)

...so a Bobby Hutcherson phase takes hold......and it's been a while..........he returns, an old friend.................feel the vibes..............mmmmm...........if you don't know his albums, Stick-Up! is as good a place to start as any......look at the line-up..............oooooohh, yes...........he plays the vibraphone, in case you didn't know.......and after the swing Lionel Hampton put in that thing followed by the cool mastery of Milt Jackson it was Bobby Hutcherson's time to modernise proceedings........and how.................

............on Blue Note in the post-Bop era...........with the Free thing outside hammering at the door Bobby marched on in a tradition but always moving forward.......as you know, Blue Note created it's own tradition in the 60s.............all those stars shining light on new and older territory...if not succumbing to the call of what was Out There, Hutcherson would still contribute massively to Eric Dolphy's Out To Lunch......and record tracks like this one for the album, Components...

....................and should you want more....here's another recommendation...Happenings...

..............returning to Stick-Up!.........I couldn't help but think of this tune too....from another musical sphere altogether..................one which rebooted my excitement in modern music............and was so good to play out in The Rumpus Room.........that moment at 1.05 after the opening tease........it really happened on the 'floor when the rhythm came...............it's what bass bins were made for.........BOOM!......and again, the third phase at 2.23.................phat beats, as they used to say......
