AfricaBrass Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I would have voted for Oblique if it was a choice. The Medina/Spiral Conn is a favorite also. I also enjoy the Hutcherson/Land album San Francisco. I like all the early Hutcherson Blue Notes. I lose interest in the seventies, though Knucklebean is good.

wolff Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) I knew there were one or two titles I was forgetting. I have all those I listed. Looks like Oblique is another I should get. Edited February 21, 2005 by wolff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 From the list, I choose Happenings. You could have added the rest of his Blue Note sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I voted for Total Eclipse, as I love the Hutcherson/Land Quintet - Patterns, Spiral, & Medina are igh on my list, too. But they're all great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphie_boy Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I haven't heard all of them, but I'm partial to PATTERNS. If I had to choose from the list, I'd go with HAPPENINGS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I always thought the Hutch/Land dates were the guys cruising beneath their real talents. Sorry, they just don't do much for me. Seemed like a "paycheck band". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASNL77 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) My favourite is not in the list: 'The Kicker'. Edited February 25, 2005 by ASNL77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I play "The Kicker" a lot. That's probably my favorite. "Stick Up" is a close second and "medina" would round out what makes it to the player most often. I love the autograph I got on "The Kicker".

James Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Oblique. With Total Eclipse, Components and Dialogue following not far behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I like the Kicker and I happen to have San Francisco (Harold Land), which is a favorite. What's a paycheck date Chuck? Do ya mean just show up to get the cash and go through the motions, without any attempt to make great music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 What's a paycheck date Chuck? Do ya mean just show up to get the cash and go through the motions, without any attempt to make great music? I said "paycheck band". I mean the Hutch/Land combo could get club work and record dates more easily than they could individually or by following other paths. Latter day MJQ and AEC could be labeled the same way - some money in the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 BTW, the Blue Note logo on the cover of "The Kicker" cracks me up every time I look at. I guess Blue Note = 42U2 UU42. Must be translated from Klingon. Later, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyJazz Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I always thought the Hutch/Land dates were the guys cruising beneath their real talents. Sorry, they just don't do much for me. Seemed like a "paycheck band". I'll agree with that assessment when it comes to SAN FRANCISCO, a date that I discarded on LP a long time ago and never felt the need to reacquire on CD. But TOTAL ECLIPSE and MEDINA (with SPIRAL included) are terrific dates. Great "blowing" by the front line and some terrific Corea or Cowell with a very propulsive Joe Chambers thrown in. Nothing at all laid back on these sessions IMO. Ah, I guess it's the proverbial "each to his own....". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewHill Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I like Components for the second half of Chambers compositions. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I like Components for the second half of Chambers compositions. Great stuff. Same reason here. Side one is nice hard bop, side 2 is more adventurous. I like "Dialogue" a lot too, although it always seemed more like an Andrew Hill record. "Happenings" is pretty good, but after that, the sessions seemed somewhat routine. Never like the Hutcherson/Land band very much either.

tkeith Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Wow... can't believe I'm the only vote for Now! Medina/Spiral would be a close second, then Total Eclipse. Now has always been my fave, though (really, half of it). I think if it were more widely distributed, it would be more popular. I had the good fortune to get my copy autographed by McD! He said, "Where did you get this? I don't have this!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Clugston Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I like Now as well. Cirrus is also a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluenote82 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Why isn't "Oblique" listed? That's my favortie Hutcherson Blue Note album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
