I actually copped this from a record collector’s show here in Birmingham (Wassup Carlos?)
When I placed the needle on this one, the very first cut, “A Night in Barcelona” grabbed me. By today’s standards this is a perfect song to be looped and sampled for a hip-hop cut. The liner notes describe it as having “a strong rock beat with the floating, modal feeling developed by and associated with John Coltrane.”
I’ve long been a fan of Bobby Hutcherson’s and this quintet which includes Joe Sample on piano and electric piano does not disappoint. Check out “A Night in Barcelona” below
