By 1980, vibraphonist
Bobby Hutcherson had evolved from a member of the avant-garde into a top exponent of the modern mainstream. This excellent album (mostly originals and obscurities but highlighted by an inventive version of
Bud Powell's classic title cut) features
Hutcherson with a top notch all-star group also including guitarist
John Abercrombie, keyboardist
George Cables, electric bassist
Chuck Domanico and drummer
Peter Erskine. Pity that this fine set has been long out-of-print.
