BOBBY HUTCHERSON R.I.P. 1941 - 2016

Jazz vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson has passed away August 15, 2016, at the age of 75 after a protracted struggle with emphysema. Introduced to the Blue Note fold by veteran alto saxophonist Jackie McLean, Hutcherson quickly joined a loose confederation of creatively ambitious New York musicians inspired by the rhythmic and harmonic innovations of free jazz patriarch Ornette Coleman but dedicated to experimenting with compositional form. With his thick, ringing four-mallet chords and exquisitely chiseled melodic lines, he played a defining role on several dozen era-defining albums, such as Eric Dolphy’s Out To Lunch, Lee Morgan’s The Procrastinator, McCoy Tyner’s Time For Tyner, Joe Henderson’s Mode For Joe, Tony Williams’ Life Time, Gracham Moncur III’s Evolution, and McLean’s One Step Beyond.

  2. Thanks for the Bobby Hutcherson. Nice recording - it would be nice to hear the rest of the show. Now I am a fan of many of Hutcherson’s 60s albums, but in 2003 I had no idea who he was, otherwise I might have attended this show.
    cheers
