Commentary
Like Happenings,
Stick Up! features a strong group of Hutcherson compositions (plus
Ornette's "Una Muy Bonita"). But this set is much more extroverted than
the one from two months earlier. In fact, the entirely new line up of
sidemen brings an appealing edge to the proceedings. All of the tunes
are strong, but I especially love "Verse," which has a Coltrane-like,
loping intensity. Of course, this has a great deal to do with Tyner's
presence, but Henderson also imprints the music with his own indelible
stamp.
Tremendous.
