BOBBY HUTCHERSON - CIRRUS



















Bobby Hutcherson for Blue Note from 1974.
Hutch is playing four sets in London this weekend so Katonah from Private Press and I will be propping up the bar for his late spot at Scotts tomorrow night.
So here's a 3rd repost for his evergreen "Cirrus" ....All Killer No Filler.

This was my very first Bobby Hutcherson post here at OIR back in may 2006.It was ripped from my vinyl copy @192 in those days-I've reupped it @320 this time and taken it from the superb Mosaic Select box set.Here's my original narrative:
Cirrus finds Bobby Hutcherson resuming his partnership with tenor saxophonist Harold Land, and the results are marvellous. The pair work with pianist Bill Henderson, trumpeter Woody Shaw, bassist Ray Drummond, drummer Larry Hancock, saxophonist/flautist Emmanuel Boyd and percussionist Kenneth Nash on this set of originals.The album starts with a great version of Woody Shaw's "Rosewood" while the rest of the set is written by Hutcherson and includes "Even Later".Highlight of the lp for me is the atmospheric and brooding "Zuri Dance" - what a corker !

MICHAEL GARRICK R.I.P. 1933 - 2011

Image
I'm sad to say that Michael Garrick passed away last Friday leaving a legacy hard to rival on both the British and the worldwide jazz scene. Tony Higgins,who compiled both the "Impressed" cds of British jazz and contributed the third unreleased volume to this blog last year was a friend of Michael Garricks so who better to pay tribute to him. Michael Garrick 1933 - 2011 The death of Michael Garrick on 11 Nov 2011 brings to a close a most fascinating and extraordinary life dedicated to one thing - music. In the time I knew Mike, his humour, erudition and commitment was infectious and inspiring and it seemed entirely appropriate that I was playing his beautiful and haunting composition 'Black Marigolds', a track about loss and memory, the moment I heard the sad news. I'm not a believer in fate but this made me pause for a moment, think deeply and feel the moment. Thinking and feeling. Two qualities that Mike valued highly. I first became aware of Mike...
