درباره این اپیزود
Bobby Hutcherson’s sound and innovative style on the vibraphone helped revitalize the instrument in the 1960s, adding an adventurous new voice to the free jazz and post-bop eras. But he also skillfully advanced the marimba as a frontline voice. Throughout his career, his unique touch on both instruments enabled him to create a rich, varied sound palette, often imbuing his songs with deep African resonances in acoustic and electric settings.
As part of the Peabody Award-winning documentary series “Jazz Profiles,” this presentation about Bobby Hutcherson was produced in 2001 by Paul Conley – and narrated by the show host Nancy Wilson.
The “Jazz Profiles” shows – nearly 200 of them – are part of the Tim Owens Jazz & Broadcast Collection at the University of North Texas Music Library. In a partnership with Tim and UNTML, we’ve picked a handful of noteworthy shows to share with you. You can find more “Jazz Profiles” shows at the UNT Music Library’s Jazz Syndicate (www.library.unt.edu/jazzsyndicate), and learn more about 32 Bar Blues' clothing collection and commitment to the arts at 32barblues.com
