Original price was: $45.99.$27.59Current price is: $27.59.Recorded in 1965, Components makes a strong case for being one of the finest albums that vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson cut for Blue Note over his lengthy association with the label. For the date, Hutcherson assembled a truly remarkable sextet featuring Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, James Spaulding on alto saxophone and flute, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Joe Chambers on drums. The fascinating album captured two sides of Hutcherson's musical personality with Side 1 presenting post-bop gems by Hutcherson including the sublime "Little B's Poem" and the gorgeous ballad "Tranquility," while Side 2 explored Chambers' more avant-garde compositions.
