Bobby Hutcherson - Happenings - Blue Note Classic Series LP

Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series, 180g LP

The crystalline vibraphone of Bobby Hutcherson was an essential element of Blue Note's 1960s catalog, from hard bop to the avant-garde. Following his 1965 album Components, Hutcherson returned to Van Gelder Studio in February 1966 for Happenings, his fourth Blue Note session as a leader and his first with a quartet. This sublime post-bop outing presents six captivating Hutcherson originals — including the spellbinding ballad "Bouquet," the Latin-tinged "Rojo," and the hard-charging "Head Start" — plus a reading of Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage." This stereo, all-analog edition was mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes.
