About

The "classic" version of the Bobby Hutcherson - Harold Land Quintet (with the Cowell-Johnson-Chambers rhythm section) appears on both Spiral and Medina. Sadly, neither of these albums were released during the quintet's existence. This type of jazz that this group was making wasn't in step with the time. Jazz-rock and fusion were just taking off, and it would be more than a decade until the music was released. Apparently, Blue Note didn't regard it as commercially viable. 1 Jasper (Hill) 2 Ruth (Chambers) 3 The Wedding March (Cowell) 4 Poor People's March (Land) 5 Spiral (Chambers) 6 Visions (Hutcherson) Personnel ("Jasper" only) Freddie Hubbard (tp); Sam Rivers (ts); Bobby Hutcherson (vib); Andrew Hill (p); Richard Davis (b); Joe Chambers (d) Personnel (All other tracks) Harold Land (ts); Bobby Hutcherson (vib); Stanley Cowell (p); Reggie Johnson (b); Joe Chambers (d) Recording Date & Location .
