The record
Hancock's chords carve out room for Hutcherson's marimba and vibes to shimmer, while Cranshaw and Chambers keep time light and unhurried underneath. One of the stronger dates from this stretch of the vibraphonist's Blue Note tenure.
Session personnel
- Bob Cranshaw — bass
- Joe Chambers — drums

Pressings
The earliest pressing on file here is the 1967 US Blue Note stereo, BST 84231. A 1967 mono, BLP 4231, sits alongside it with an RVG stamp and a laminated sleeve, and that mono is the copy to look at first. Several 1967 rows are already Liberty repressings or NY/Liberty transition labels, so read the label before paying up. For sound, Music Matters cut it at 45 RPM in 2011 as MMBST-84231.
