Bobby Hutcherson Medina (2024 Blue Note Tone Poet Series)

Description

The late-1960s and early-1970s were a wildly creative period for Bobby Hutcherson with the vibraphonist freely exploring a wide range of stylistic possibilities from post-bop and the avant-garde to fusion and Latin Jazz. The cutting-edge 1969 sessionMedina which wouldnt be first released until 1980 as part of the LT Series documented one of Hutchersons most remarkable band line-ups featuring two of his frequent collaboratorsHarold Landon tenor saxophone and fluteand Joe Chamberson drumsalong withStanley Cowellon piano andReggie Johnsonon bass. The set presented a pair of original compositions each by Hutcherson, Cowell, and Chambers that explored a variety of moods from the churning rhythms of Avis and Medina to the more atmospheric realms of Comes Spring and Orientale.
