"I visited New York in '63, intending to move there, but I noticed that what I valued about jazz was being discarded. I ran into `out-to-lunch' free jazz, and the notion that groove was old-fashioned. All around the United States, I could see jazz becoming linear, a horn-player's world. It made me realize that we were not jazz musicians; we were territory musicians in love with all forms of African-American music. All of the musicians I loved were territory musicians, deeply into blues and gospel as well as jazz. " - Joe Sample

Bobby Hutcherson All-Stars at Yoshi's Print E-mail

Living legend and  vibraphone master Bobby Hutcherson returns to Yoshi's with his band of All-Stars, featuring some of today's finest players and leaders in their own right: James Spaulding on alto saxophone, Nicholas Payton on trumpet, George Cables on piano, Dwayne Burno on bass and Lewis Nash on drums on January 20th-23rd.

Spaulding and Hutcherson first started playing together as part of a loose collective of musicians associated with Blue Note in the 1960s, including McCoy Tyner, tenor saxophonists Wayne Shorter and Joe Henderson, trombonist Grachan Moncur III, pianist Andrew Hill, drummer Joe Chambers and trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, all of whom were also ambitious composers.

The output of Hutcherson's creativity is evidenced on a series of classic albums, such as "Dialogue," "Components" and "The Kicker", "Stick-Up" from 1966 which, like "The Kicker", features tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, is also notable for the dynamic playing of the irrepressible drummer Billy Higgins. It is also Hutcherson's first recording with pianist McCoy Tyner.

Hutcherson's career has spanned five decades and includes stints with some of the greatest names in jazz: Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and many others. Following Lionel Hampton and Milt Jackson, Hutcherson is credited, along with Gary Burton, with ushering what was essentially a novelty instrument into the modern era. In his hands, the vibraphone is an instrument of subtlety and power, and Hutcherson uses it to create sounds that are dynamic and swinging. Don't miss this living legend of jazz with his All-Star group!
