Bobby Hutcherson's discography is amazing. It's both immense and astoundingly consistent. Hutcherson has released more than forty albums as a leader or co-leader. Many of these are superb, from his first Blue Note release to his current work with the SF Jazz Collective. Some records are recognized milestones in the history of jazz; others are gems waiting to be rediscovered.
