Medina captures Bobby Hutcherson at the height of his creative powers, recorded in 1969 at the legendary Van Gelder Studios. Joined by an outstanding ensemble featuring Harold Land, Stanley Cowell, Reggie Johnson, and Joe Chambers, Hutcherson leads a dynamic post-bop session that blends propulsive rhythms with atmospheric compositions.

This Blue Note release showcases original works by Hutcherson, Cowell, and Chambers, exploring a diverse range of moods—from the driving energy of “Avis” and “Medina” to the more introspective tones of “Comes Spring” and “Orientale.” A vital addition for jazz enthusiasts, Medina stands as a testament to Hutcherson’s innovative spirit and the collaborative brilliance of his group.
