Description
Bobby Hutcherson was a defining feature of Blue Note Records in the 1960s, equally skilled in hard bop, soul jazz, and avant-garde music. His 1968 album Total Eclipse featured saxophonist and flutist Harold Land, who would become a key collaborator. The album was recorded at Plaza Sound Studio and also included Chick Corea, Reggie Johnson, and Joe Chambers. With the exception of Corea's "Matrix," Hutcherson wrote all of the pieces, including the swinging "Herzog" and the epic "Pompeian."
