Bobby Hutcherson - Ntu

Ntu

Word up to Simon Steezhoard for playing this for me.
I've never really gotten into most of Bobby Hutcherson's albums. Perhaps because he tended to play with jazz musicians I had little interest in. He played a lot with Harold Budd in the late 60s and early 70s, in a time of tremendous momentum that motivated jazz in directions that were once seen as outside the parameters and inaccessible to jazz musicians - Bobby Hutcherson chose to play with Harold Budd. Eeeek, I dunno, its kind of like neglecting to submit to a Coperinican view of the universe and instead withdraw from its fresh and profound insights and stick with the old world-view, the traditional one propagated by the Church. That probably reads as geek-drama-jazz-nerd shit, but still, much of Bobby Hutcherson's stuff has kind of that "10 years ago" vibe. It wasn't until the mid 70s that Hutcherson found a groove, Montara, the album after "Linger Lane" has some great moments.
