The View From The Inside

Hutcherson's work is the anti-
thesis of Benson's latest album.
It is solid jazz of high quality,
performed by a group of virtu-
ally unknown musicians. Hutch-
erson is an accomplished vibes
player (his work dates back to
recordings with the late Eric
Dolphy), and it is good to see
that he is giving young music-1
ans a chance to make a name
for themselves. Manny Boyd on
tenor and soprano saxophones
is particularly impressive.
Worth noting are "Later Even,"
a vibes solo, and the cuts
"Shame Shame," and "Houston
St., Thursday Afternoon" all of
which were composed by Hutch-
erson.
