Bobby Hutcherson Boxed Set

I think it's safe to say that Bobby always looked sharp.

Man, I’d forgotten what a strong record Happenings is. Relishing this set, which is inspiring me to revisit some other mid-1960s Blue Note records that I haven’t spun in many years. That particular era of the label sremains a sweet spot in my love of jazz.

Yes, I discovered this upon revisiting it a couple years ago. For whatever reason I remembered Happenings to be a little slight, and Oblique to be the stronger of the two. I found that I had it completely flipped. There's some very deep & outre stuff on there!

I've always preferred Oblique (Stinson pushes it over the edge for me) but I love Happenings as well.

The sound quality of this Hutcherson set is really good. I don't have any of the LPs to compare to, but compared to some of the previous CDs, the sound is much more pleasant.

A nice collection all the way around. An fitting tribute to both Bobby and Cuscuna.

Just ordered the Hutcherson set from TYQ. I have most of the music on LPs and older CDs but it will be great to have the best CD masterings on one set, plus the additional tracks. I really like these Mosaic Blue Note sets and it is sad that there will be no more of them initiated and supported by Mr Cuscuna.

I was really tempted with the new Vanguard set but that will have to wait !
