Dialogue (Remaster) (CD)

Bobby Hutcherson is the premier jazz vibraphonist of his generation. The Los Angeles-born composer/musician came to prominence in the mid-'60s as part of the "New Thing" movement in jazz, the forward-looking link between bebop and free jazz. One of Hutcherson's most prominent early sessions was Eric Dolphy's epoch-making 1964 album OUT TO LUNCH. Shortly thereafter, Hutcherson's solo career began in earnest, showing him to be a prolific composer as well as a masterful and innovative improviser. In the '70s, Hutcherson moved into more commercial, R&B-influenced territory, but the '80s found him returning to his post-bop roots. By the '90s, a new crop of jazz vibes players had entered the spotlight, all of whom owed much to Hutcherson's influence, placing the still extremely active mallet master in the role of elder statesman.

Vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson was among the most successful and appealing of the 1960s musicians who merged post-bop aesthetics with the experiments of free jazz. His 1965 album DIALOGUE is one of his best--melodic, adventurous, rigorously musical, and ever-searching. Hutcherson pushes the jazz envelope here while maintaining allegiance to structure and form. The insistent, Latin-tinged opener, "Catta," is a case in point, a bold exploration set to percolating rhythms and a memorable theme. Some of the best players of the era--including trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, saxophonist Sam Rivers, and pianist Andrew Hill--help make this classic even classier.
