Natural Illusions

Add to Cart$8.99 ... LP
LP (Item 1520) Blue Note, 1972 -- Condition: Very Good+

Vibes and orchestrations -- a combination that makes for one of the coolest Bobby Hutcherson albums of the 70s -- a really magical set that expands the sound of Bobby's work in ways we wouldn't have expected! The style is similar to that used with Grant Green and Lou Donaldson at the time on Blue Note -- a style that's clearly trying for the more sophisticated sounds of CTI, and which beautifully balances the modes of presentation -- so that there's still plenty of soulful moments and slyly funky bits alongside the strings and woodwinds in the orchestrations -- proof that a record like this can be really brilliant if scored properly! Some moments get a bit modern and dark -- almost in a William S Fischer kind of way -- and titles include the great track "Rain Every Thursday", which begins with an excellent break -- plus "The Folks Who Live On The Hill", "Sophisticated Ladies", "When You're Near", "Shirl", and "Lush Life". (Applause pressing with the different cover image on a yellow background.)  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
