The exceptionally talented Jazz artist Bobby Hutcherson has released him CD entitled Oblique. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Bobby Hutcherson fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Oblique Bobby Hutcherson’s artistic excellence is on full display as Hutcherson has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.
It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Hutcherson on several of the tracks. Artists like Alfred Lion and Rudy Van Gelder just to name a couple.
If you’re a Bobby Hutcherson fan, or just a fan of Jazz music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.
While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - My Joy, track 4 - Subtle Neptune, and track 6 - Bi-Sectional
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Til Then. What a nice track!
