Bobby Hutcherson - Now! (1969)


Dynamic, expressive, avant-garde post-bop and psych-leaning fusion by vibraphonist/jazz legend Bobby Hutcherson. Features the vocals and lyrics of Gene MacDaniels, as well as three female backup singers. Often, the presence of vocals on records of this nature has made for a divided reaction among jazz-heads, but Now! is just too good to deny.

Track listing:
1. Slow Change
2. Hello to the Wind
3. Now
4. The Creators
5. Black Heroes

  1. I'll be damned if the first cut doesn't sound like Magma. 1969 is about right. Thanks for this and Merry Christmas too!

  4. This one is even better than his ''Sticks Up !'' album. Unfortunately, not easy to find as his other albums, but I am very glad I got it as a download. Merci ! :)
