HEAD ON (1971) is the most ambitious and adventurous work in Bobby
Hutcherson's discography. Though the
composer/bandleader/vibraphonist did contribute one tune ("Mtume"),
HEAD ON mostly features the ambitious compositions and arrangements
of Todd Cochran, who also plays piano on the session. The resulting
music is dense and polyrhythmic, and bracing, drawing parallels to
Miles Davis's BITCHES BREW and other first wave fusion albums.
Cochran arranges for the 18-piece group here with a mad scientist's
zeal but still manages to create precise orchestral textures.
Elements of chamber music and funk abound, and Hutcherson's clear,
cool marimba and vibraphone work shimmers throughout. This release
marks the album's first appearance on CD, giving Hutcherson fans
reason to rejoice.
