Bobby Hutcherson: Stick-Up! (Tone Poet 180g) Vinyl LP

"Vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson had a profound influence over the sound of Blue Note Records in the 1960s, with his distinctive vibes elevating a wide range of all-time classics from Grant Green Idle Moments to Eric Dolphy Out To Lunch. His fifth Blue Note session as a leader, 1966’s album Stick-Up! found Hutcherson in the company of a new band line-up with Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, McCoy Tyner on piano, Herbie Lewis on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. The versatile quintet covers a vast expanse of post-bop territory on this excellent six-song set which opens with a spirited romp through Ornette Coleman’s 'Una Muy Bonita.' Five Hutcherson originals follow including the hard driving '8/4 Beat,' the dreamy ballad 'Summer Nights,' and the expansive 'Verse.'" - Blue Note Records
