"Medina" & "Spiral" were 2 albums from jazz vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson finally released as part of 1998's blue note connoisseur series. It was originally released in 1980 on Blue Note Records not at the time it was recorded (1968) . This CD reissue adds five tracks also recorded in 1968, previously released on vinyl in 1979, under the title Spiral.
Musically this album is a heavy mix of vibes and jazz modes with some outstanding passages and bits along the way. I love the sound of the vibes and with the great musicianship this album almost takes on a space feel.......a very cool album that never gets too hairy for the listener...well at least not for me.
