CJ Shearn Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 Last night I saw the SF Jazz Collective at Binghamton University (great concert) and I spoke with Eric Harland after the gig. I asked him how Bobby's doing as he was a member until 2007, he said he is doing much better though he gets so out of breath when he plays. Said how Hutch always was joking around and telling funny stories, Harland is a really cool guy to be around. We talked a bit about Charles Lloyd too. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Hope he's kicked this habit: Bad habit, sure, but a killer album and a hilariously great cover. Quote
BFrank Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 This was Bobby at the May 17 SF Jazz Center groundbreaking. He seemed OK, but was using oxygen. Nice to see him, for sure. Quote

Nice to see him, for sure. yes, he's using oxygen all the time now. he's still got his chops though. aside from his health problems, he was dealt a very heavy blow recently with the passing of Eddie Marshall.

CJ Shearn Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Posted October 14, 2011 I love the apple pie story Bobby told. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 (Link courtesy of webbcitty on the SH TV board) Let's wish Bobby the best and enjoy this Hutcherson-Land youtube video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-4NTZSkzAE Quote
BFrank Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Saw Bobby tonight in attendance at an SFJazz event: Javon Jackson, Mulgrew Miller, Jimmy Cobb, Nat Reeves. He was looking quite frail. I don't know if he was just having a bad night or what. Quote

I don't know if he was just having a bad night or what. the fact is, unfortunately, that Bobby is quite frail but i'm SO glad that he got out to hear his buddies play all that good music. i'm hearing the same group here in L.A. tomorrow night.

That's what I thought. I know he got to spend some time backstage which must have been fun for him. Enjoy the show! Nothing groundbreaking, but the music is top-shelf. Quote
BFrank Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Things are actually looking UP! Don't know if anyone noticed, but Bobby recently performed in NYC and will be at Yoshi's this coming weekend. This lengthy article in today's SF Chron was great to see. Bobby Hutcherson passionate about music, life Quote
BeBop Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks BFrank. I'd just dropped by to post that link. I was glad to see this...right on the front page! Quote
