Bobby Hutcherson - Conception: The Gift Of Love [Columbia, 1979]

I've largely ignored BH after his Blue Note years.  On this evidence that has been foolhardy.  Any views on the other Columbia releases?

Solo/Quartet on Contemporary and all of the Landmark releases are better choices.

I like all of the Hutcherson Columbias (there were only three). They are all "produced" and are obviously "targeted", but...they are all quite well done, and no false tones are struck. And everybody plays, there's none of this "holding back" that such things often ended up with.

Fusion? Reall? Or maybe just letting what was already there step into the mainstream spotlight? I mean, everybody should know about "Un Poco Loco", should they not?

Still do not pass on the aforementioned Solo/Quartet on Contemporary. It is a true masterpiece.

Thanks, I like that description of them. I will definitely been checking the other two.

Already have 'Solo/Quartet' which is very special, I agree

Definitely! I can't believe I've slept on him for so long. I have another three in the post at the moment. My new obsession...

He's hitting a similar spot that Yusef Lateef does for me. Thank you for all your Moody posts that eventually nudged me in the right direction.

I'm happy that the Moody bug bit you. :) The man made amazing, SOULFUL music that's often overlooked.

So far I've gone for late 50s through to a Muse. I saw a Novus, how are the later dates?

I have one of Moody's Novus records, Something Special.  It's very good -- but, IMO, it's not quite on the same level as those prime years.

From Moody's later years, my favorite very well could be Our Delight with Hank Jones on IPO.

The later (on both Novus & WB) dates tend to be a bit "produced", but the last dates (on IPO) are badass. But - do not hesitate to go backwards as well. The late-40s/early 50s stuff are magnificent.

Yep!
