Commentary
Hutcherson's duets with Kenny Barron are easily the best tracks on this set. Lovely.

The other tracks are uneven. Concert compilation albums like this rarely gel. This is no exception. Only the very curious and completists will find it worth the effort to track this one down. The album has never been issued on compact disc.

Here's a thought: It would be interesting for Sony Legacy to issue a Hutcherson compilation CD that includes "Calypso" and "Sunshower" from this album, plus Hutch's two tracks from the Round Midnight OST, plus his two tracks on the Jazz at the Opera House LP, in addition to selections from his three Columbia LPs.
