This was the first Hutcherson-as-a-leader recording I ever heard.  I was prompted to find it after seeing the "crown" rating it was given in the Penguin Guide.  Bobby quickly became -- and still is -- one of my very favorite artists. (I guess that's sorta obvious, given my avatar name. ;))

But what an INCREDIBLE debut.  Talk about a strong start!   Andrew Hill composed most of the tunes, so I think it's a little bit less representative than the music that would follow.  (If I'd written the Penguin Guide, I'd give the crown to Happenings, which -- to my ears -- is more thoroughly Bobby's record.)  OTOH, any way you slice it, Dialogue is a stunner, an amazing record.

I'm still sad that he's gone. But I'm grateful for the music.  What a gift.

Among the "+6" trombones on the first album were Eddie Bert, Jimmy Cleveland and Urbie Green.  The second album, a supposedly "live" recording, sure sounds like a studio session with canned applause and Mr. Johnson's song/band intros added.  The band for that one included Nat Adderley, Tommy Flanagan, Wilbur Little and Tootie Heath.
