ALL THAT JAZZ #40

RIP Bobby Hutcherson

Bobby Hutcherson, Vibraphonist With Coloristic Range of Sound, Dies at 75 - (Nate Chinen, 8/16/16, NY Times)

Bobby Hutcherson, the great jazz vibes player whose work spanned the styles of bop (with Milt Jackson also on vibes), hard bop, post-bop, and funk has died.  I particularly like his work over the years...60's, 70's, and 80's...with Dexter Gordon, (here also with Billy Higgins and Cedar Walton, who appeared with Hutcherson and Dexter in "Round Midnight" ).
