Bobby Hutcherson (born January 27, 1941) in Los Angeles is a jazzvibraphone and marimba player. "Little B's Poem" (from the album Components) is one of his best-known compositions. Hutcherson has influenced younger vibraphonists including Steve Nelson, Joe Locke and Stefon Harris.
Biography
Early life and career
Bobby Hutcherson was born to Eli, a master mason, and Esther, a hairdresser. Hutcherson was exposed to jazz by his brother Teddy, who listened to Art Blakey records in the family home with his friend Dexter Gordon. His older sister Peggy was a singer in Gerald Wilson's orchestra and personally introduced Hutcherson to Eric Dolphy (her boyfriend at the time) and Billy Mitchell. Hutcherson was inspired to take up the vibraphone when he heard Milt Jackson play "Bemsha Swing" on the Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants LP at the age of 12. Still in his teens, Hutcherson began his professional career in the late fifties working with Curtis Amy and Carmell Jones, as well as with Dolphy and Charles Lloyd at Pandora's Box on the Sunset Strip. He made his recording debut on August 3, 1960, cutting two songs for a 7-inch single with the Les McCann trio for Pacific Jazz (released 1961), followed by the LP Groovin' Blue with the Curtis Amy-Frank Butler sextet on December 10 (also released by Pacific Jazz in 1961). In January 1962, Hutcherson joined the Billy Mitchell-Al Grey group for dates at The Jazz Workshop in San Francisco and Birdland in New York City (opposite Art Blakey). After touring with the Mitchell-Grey group for a year, Hutcherson settled in New York City (on 165th street in The Bronx) where he worked part-time as a taxi driver, before fully entering the jazz scene via his childhood friend, bassist Herbie Lewis.
Highway One is an album by American jazz vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson recorded in 1978 and released on the Columbia label. The album was Hutcherson's first for Columbia after a long association with Blue Note Records.
Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3½ stars stating "With keyboardist George Cables and vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson contributing all of the compositions, it is not too surprising that this LP has plenty of strong melodies... A fine (if not overly adventurous) outing".
Track listing
"Secrets of Love" (George Cables) - 8:17
"Bouquet" - 6:20
"Highway One" - 7:27
"Sweet Rita Suite (Part 2 - Her Soul)" (Cables) - 6:09
"Circle" (Cables) - 5:00
"Secrets of Love (Reprise)" (Todd Barkan, Cables) - 8:32

Biography
Early life and career
Bobby Hutcherson was born to Eli, a master mason, and Esther, a hairdresser. Hutcherson was exposed to jazz by his brother Teddy, who listened to Art Blakey records in the family home with his friend Dexter Gordon. His older sister Peggy was a singer in Gerald Wilson's orchestra and personally introduced Hutcherson to Eric Dolphy (her boyfriend at the time) and Billy Mitchell. Hutcherson was inspired to take up the vibraphone when he heard Milt Jackson play "Bemsha Swing" on the Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants LP at the age of 12. Still in his teens, Hutcherson began his professional career in the late fifties working with Curtis Amy and Carmell Jones, as well as with Dolphy and Charles Lloyd at Pandora's Box on the Sunset Strip. He made his recording debut on August 3, 1960, cutting two songs for a 7-inch single with the Les McCann trio for Pacific Jazz (released 1961), followed by the LP Groovin' Blue with the Curtis Amy-Frank Butler sextet on December 10 (also released by Pacific Jazz in 1961). In January 1962, Hutcherson joined the Billy Mitchell-Al Grey group for dates at The Jazz Workshop in San Francisco and Birdland in New York City (opposite Art Blakey). After touring with the Mitchell-Grey group for a year, Hutcherson settled in New York City (on 165th street in The Bronx) where he worked part-time as a taxi driver, before fully entering the jazz scene via his childhood friend, bassist Herbie Lewis.
I gotta itchin’ shoes and a dose of the blues this morning, A simple story too beer and fun, I won’t feel so bad when I'm back in the cab an' I'm movin', Headin’ out on the Highway Number One. When I left my mates I was feelin' great I remember, We were full of noise and ready for the run. I didn't think I had too much drink so it shows ya, Oh it must be the sleep that brings a man undone. Heading interstate with a load of freight at sunrise, No maps to read I got all I need in my roadmap eyes, Oh Let the diesels roar but don’t slam the doors when you’re leavin’, As I find my way on the Highway Number One. [yodel] [Instrumental] Hey! I put a cartridge in, it starts to spin and it’s playin’, Something about a sad hangover song, Oh my head's so sore from the night before that I'm sayin', Oh diesel won’t you take me gently home. Headin’ interstate with a load of freight at sunrise, No maps to read I got all I need, here in my roadmap eyes, Oh Let the diesels roar but don’t slam the doors when you’re leavin’, As I find my way on the Highway Number One.
