Bobby Hutcherson's Return To Blue Note on 180g Vinyl!
Significant Event For Blue Note 75th Anniversary!
2015 Grammy Award Nominee for:
Best Jazz Instrumental Album
NEA Jazz Master Bobby Hutcherson makes his triumphant return to Blue Note Records, where the virtuoso vibraphonist started his career in the early 60s, with the superb album, Enjoy the View. The vibrant session is produced by Blue Note president Don Was and is released as a significant event in the labels 75th anniversary yearlong celebration. Recorded by an all-star collective of saxophonist David Sanborn and organist Joey DeFrancesco, and featuring drummer Billy Hart, the Hutcherson-sparked group plays seven original compositions that range from cool, gentle grooves to fiery outbursts of exuberance. At heart, the album soars thanks to the divine musical alchemy among the performersan assemblage of veteran artists who play at the top of their game.
Im happy to have a recording come out on Blue Note, says the 73-year-old Hutcherson. Ive had a long-term association with the label. Im thrilled to be back here.
Was concurs: Bobby not only has an incredible history with Blue Note as the preeminent voice of the vibes, but he still remains the giant of the instrument.
In the tradition of the Blue Note label, founded by Alfred Lion in 1938, a day of rehearsal was scheduled preceding the recording of Enjoy the View at Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood. Even though it was the first time Sanborn had played with Hutcherson and Hart, the chemistry was immediate. Don decided to have the rehearsal session recorded, says DeFrancesco. Its a good thing because we decided that three of the tunesDaves Delia and two of my new songs written for the date, Don Is and Youwere the best takes for the album.
