IMO one of the best blue note artist ever..

.I know near all of his 60's output, but these last days I'm more into the funky side and I discovered I don't have anything from him in the 70's ( montara is the exception)

......which album you suggest to look for ?

    Montara ?

    mmmhh it sounds really more a "latin" record to me...

    It is. To be honest I like his straight forward 60's stuff alot more than Montara. A lot of people love that Montara lp though, it defintly has some funky tracks on it.

    I'm a fan of some of his music, but do you realize what you're saying. Probably not.

    I said "one of the best" ....of course many others were equally/more talented around......please don't start a trial here.....

    This is arguably his funkiest (lots of rhodes, e-bass, etc.) Also "San Francisco" w/ Harold Land another nice one.

    I would most defenitely put him in a best of Blue Note list. He is one of the archetypal Blue Note artists.

    I also like "Head On", not funky, more on the spiritual/free side. The track 'Mtume' is fire. Also the live version of "The Creators" from:

    is some modal fire. Early 70s live recording from Ljubjana, Yugoslavia with some nice Harold Land solo playing. Land is always a really strong player, I like his style a lot.
    Also, from his 70s stuff, don't sleep on this one:

    Good playing and nice compositions. The only one of his late-70s stuff that I've kept (76). "Prime Thought" and the title track are really nice imo.
    I like Hutcherson when he goes into that trancey meditation mode. Even a track like "Ntu" from the "Linger Lane" album has that vibe. I don't own "San Francisco" or "Now!", unfortunately. Of course I dig a lot of his 60s output too. Just got "Components" recently.
