These are 3 Blue Note recordings from 1964, 1965 & 1966, respectively, that feature Bobby Hutcherson on vibes - a regular at the label who brought freshness and a distinguishing mood to their catalog; defining a big part of the sixties mainstream jazz sound in the process. "Somewhere in the Night" is a mellow swing number with a very appealing melody. Grant Green sounds inspired by the heavy company: Larry Young, Elvin Jones and Hutcherson! Dexter Gordon's irresistible "Le Coiffeur" is one of his best; a perky quasi-cha-cha that has Bobby front and center and a great groove from drummer Billy Higgins. "Maiden Voyage" is from Bobby's own classic "Happenings" album, and sports the composer Herbie Hancock on an atmospheric, gently driving version of this great composition!

Grant Green - "Somewhere In the Night"
Dexter Gordon - "Le Coiffeur"
Bobby Hutcherson - "Maiden Voyage"

Playlist for 8-5-2014 WFCF - Six Minutes and Something!

"Magpies: Six for Gold" - Stephanie Pui-Mun Law
mixed media including watercolor and gold leaf
Visit the artist's website!

Continuing with this summer's odd themes is this one: all the songs on the show are 6 minutes and something long. Among other things it'll mean that I won't be talking very much, in order to fit all the music in the 15 minute slots. Visit twitter where I'll post any extra comments & info about the show. Lots of music I've been itching to play including Etienne Charles, Brad Mehldau and La Lucha. Tune in on Tuesday August 5th from 3-7pm. Listen online for free anywhere in the US by clicking here. See you then! - Kendo

ps - this week's art showcase is part of a series. See the other magnificent Magpie paintings at the artist's gallery!
