Bobby Hutcherson, David Sanborn, Joey DeFrancesco Featuring Billy Hart • Enjoy The View

Review by Matt Collar

Bobby Hutcherson's 2014 album, Enjoy the View, finds the vibraphonist joining forces with saxophonist David Sanborn, organist/trumpeter Joey DeFrancesco, and drummer Billy Hart on a set of swinging, funky, and adventurous songs. This is Hutcherson's first album of studio material since 2009's Coltrane-inspired Wise One, and follows his 2012 live album, Somewhere in the Night, which also featured DeFrancesco. In a similar vein to Sanborn's more straight-ahead acoustic collaboration with keyboardist Bob James, 2013's Quartette Humaine, Enjoy the View eschews Hutcherson's more contemporary leanings for a visceral hard bop- and soul-jazz-influenced sound. Here we get a bevy of inspired original compositions, including the moody opening cut, "Delia," the impressionistic and driving modal soul of "Hey Harold," and the swinging, funky "Teddy." Ultimately, Enjoy the View is an album of expansive, highly engaging music that harks back to the best of Hutcherson's '60s and '70s work.

Reseña escrita por Matt Collar

El álbum de Bobby Hutcherson de 2014, Enjoy the View, encuentra al vibrafonista uniendo fuerzas con el saxofonista David Sanborn, el organista y trompetista Joey DeFrancesco y el baterista Billy Hart en un conjunto de canciones swinging, funky y aventureras. Este es el primer álbum de material de estudio de Hutcherson desde el Wise One inspirado en Coltrane de 2009, y sigue su álbum en vivo de 2012, Somewhere in the Night, que también incluye a DeFrancesco. En una línea similar a la colaboración acústica más directa de Sanborn con el tecladista Bob James, el Cuarteto Humaine de 2013, Enjoy the View evita las tendencias más contemporáneas de Hutcherson para un sonido visceral influenciado por el hard bop y el soul-jazz. Aquí tenemos una bandada de inspiradas composiciones originales, incluyendo la incipiente canción de apertura, "Delia", el alma impresionista y modal de "Hey Harold", y el funky "Teddy". En última instancia, Enjoy the View es un álbum de música expansiva y muy atractiva que recuerda lo mejor de la obra de Hutcherson de los años 60 y 70.
