Our Take

Bobby Hutcherson's "Happenings" is a groovy trip through the world of avant-garde jazz that will leave you tapping your toes and scratching your head in delight. The album kicks off with the infectious title track, a swirling confluence of vibraphone and saxophone that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Hutcherson's masterful vibraphone playing is on full display here, as he effortlessly glides between intricate melodies and mind-bending solos.

Tracks like "Aquarian Moon" and "Bouquet" showcase Hutcherson's ability to blend traditional jazz sounds with experimental flourishes, creating a sonic landscape that is at once familiar and completely new. The band's tight interplay and intuitive improvisations keep things interesting throughout, with each member adding their own unique flavour to the mix.

Standout moments include the hauntingly beautiful "Les Noirs Marchent" and the frenetic "Ghetto Lights," both of which highlight Hutcherson's gift for crafting emotive, dynamic compositions. And let's not forget the impeccable production, which allows each instrument to shine while still maintaining a cohesive sound.

In short, "Happenings" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to expand their sonic horizons. Hutcherson's inventive arrangements and virtuosic playing make this album a true standout in the genre, and a testament to his enduring talent. So grab your headphones, pour yourself a drink, and let Bobby Hutcherson take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers, old chap!
