About the artist ...
Bobby Hutcherson, one the handful of vibraphonists
to enjoy successful careers as both a jazz
instrumentalist and a composer, inherited the
musical legacy built by Lionel Hampton and Red
Norvo and extended the virtuoso innovations
developed by Milt Jackson. Credited, along with
Gary Burton, with ushering what was essentially a
novelty instrument into the modern era, Hutcherson
in turn influenced the few musicians who chose to
follow in his footsteps, including the current
keeper of the flame, Stefon Harris. A native of
L.A., Hutcherson performed locally with Curtis Amy
and Charles Lloyd as well as with a quintet co-led
by Al Grey and Billy Mitchell which brought him to
N.Y. in 1961 when he was 20 years old. Remaining in
the Big Apple, he began performing with a visionary
group of artists including Jackie McLean, Grachan
Moncur III, Charles Tolliver, Archie Shepp, Eric
Dolphy, Hank Mobley and Herbie Hancock. As a result
of these associations, in 1963 Hutcherson began
appearing as a sideman on several Blue Note albums
that would become classics including McLean's One
Step Beyond, Moncur's Evolution, Hill's Judgment
and Dolphy's Out To Lunch.
It would be easy -- based on his work on these
recordings and on Dialogue, his 1965 Blue Note
debut as a leader which features Sam Rivers and
Freddie Hubbard -- to pigeon hole Hutcherson as a
member of the avant garde. Yet he was equally at
home playing the blues, as he does with authority
on Grant Green's Idle Moments and his own album The
Kicker, a soulful, swinging session from 1963 which
was actually the vibraphonist's first as a leader
even though it was not released until the fall of
1999. Hutcherson appeared on several other Blue
Note titles as a leader and sideman during the
course of an association with the label that lasted
until 1977. Stick-Up from 1966 which, like The
Kicker, features tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson,
is also notable for the dynamic playing of the
irrepressible drummer Billy Higgins. It is also
Hutcherson's first recording with pianist McCoy
Tyner with whom he would make the duo album
Manhattan Moods in 1993.
About the album ...
...gorgeously mellow... seductively sublime
standards... ethereal, peaceful, intricate... as
sophisticated as anything from his classic Blue
Note recordings

...a tight range of expression, focusing on melody
and phrasing with the precision of a good singer...
- The New York Times (USA)
...strikingly different... throughout, less is more
and beauty outshines the velocity.
- Billboard (USA) Critics' Choice
