Bobby Hutcherson’s second album for Kind of Blue is a homage to John Coltrane.
John Coltrane, the man and his music, has long been a profound influence on the
artistic path treaded by Bobby Hutcherson - almost from the very beginning of the
great vibraphonist's impressive career. Hutcherson remembers penciling on a fake
moustache as an underaged teenager in his native Los Angeles so as to gain
entrance to first hear the iconic saxophonist play in a local jam session preceding an
engagement with the Miles Davis Quintet. "I got there early and he was in the back
practicing and I was the only one sitting out there in front. That was great because
nobody was there and I got to hear him practice. He practiced all the way up to the
time that they played for the jam session. I never heard anybody practice like that …"
The music on this date is Hutcherson's "offering" to the spirit of John Coltrane, a gratitude
filled homage to the man whose life and music acutely affected the great vibraphonist's
own approach to the deep calling that has made his own life a most rewarding
one. In describing his reasons for choosing this particular repertoire he says simply,
"Songs that I like, things and stories that I like … These melodies have a natural
order to them; the question and the answer of them - the boldness and the strength of
them, things that are very natural. So that's the reason why that I got these songs.
Even when they weren't written by Trane, some of the songs that Trane played you
see those same thoughts."
