Big Al Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 The "Theme from 'Blow-Up'" is worth the price of admission alone, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Sure is. The kick-off track ('Till Then') is also exquisite. For my money it is (along with 'Happenings') Bobby's best album but then I'm biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 At least they fixed the typo. ← Maybe your side of the pond. Here in the UK the Handcock cover is in stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 What's this session like? I've got a lot of Bobby and a lot of Herbie...don't listen to THAT much of either as a leader. Don't feel compelled to buy this unless it's considerabley different from other output. ← It's not that different from the other of Hutcherson's albums with Hancock, but all the same: it's a very good and listenable album. If there's a difference, it's that the tunes in general are perhaps a bit mellower/more melodical, or perhaps better put; less abstract, than on the typical Hutcherson album of the time. But they are not lightweight in any regard. Together with 'Total Eclipse' I consider this album as the most consistent of Hutcherson's Blue Notes. If you're not too fond of Hutcherson you'll probably want to spend your money on something else. But I think you wouldn't regret trading in one or two of your least favorite Hutchersons for 'Oblique'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
