Blow Up by Bobby Hutcherson = Orgasmic Bliss

[Chas]

This thread has prompted me to pull the Blow-Up Original Soundtrack off the shelf where it has been gathering dust . I had forgotten that Joe Henderson is on this , and now that I listen again , I think I like the two tracks featuring him best of all . The moody muted-trumpet opening of the first one , The Naked Camera , puts me in mind of something by George Russell (Night Song perhaps). Joe takes a very characteristic solo before the too-fast fade cuts him off . The second one , the ethereal Curiosity , gives an all-too-brief glimpse of what Speak Like A Child might have sounded like had Joe been on the date . If full-length versions of these two tracks exist , I'd be very interested in hearing them .

Anyone have thougts on the second half of my post about the influence a few of these albums may have had on European free playing? Sangrey? "Gnostic" on "Some Other Stuff", I can hear the spaciousness of what would become the ECM sound on this tune.
