À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
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
