Bobby Hutcherson's 1965 album, Components, captured two sides of his musical personality with a sextet featuring Freddie Hubbard, James Spaulding, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Joe Chambers. Side A presents post-bop gems by Hutcherson like "Little B's Poem," while Side B explores Chambers' avant-garde pieces. This stereo Blue Note Tone Poet Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket.
