RELEASE DESCRIPTION
Recorded in 1963, The Kicker was actually vibraphonist Bobby Hutchersonâs first session as a leader for Blue Note, but for reasons lost to time it was shelved, and instead Hutchersonâs album Dialogue was released as his debut two years later.
First released in 1999, The Kicker is a sequel to guitarist Grant Greenâs masterpiece Idle Moments, which was recorded one month earlier with the exact same personnel featuring Green, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianist Duke Pearson, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Al Harewood
Blue Note Tone Poet Series
The Blue Note Tone Poet Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Wasâ admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters. Was brought Joe Harley (from Music Matters), a.k.a. the âTone Poet,â on board to curate and supervise a series of reissues from the Blue Note family of labels.
Extreme attention to detail has been paid to getting these right in every conceivable way, from the jacket graphics and printing quality to superior LP mastering (direct from the master tapes) by Kevin Gray to superb 180 gm audiophile LP pressings by Record Technology Inc. Every aspect of these Blue Note/Tone Poet releases is done to the highest possible standard. It means that you will never find a superior version. This is IT.
