Recorded in 1967, Oblique is one of two quartet sessions the great vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson recorded for Blue Note. Released in 1979, features Herbie Hancock (piano), Joe Chambers (drums) & Albert Stinson (bass). An incredible journey from bops to exploratory sonic poems, with standouts like breezy opener "`Til Then," Hancock's tremendous "Theme From Blow Up" & Chambers' adventurous "Oblique". Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered 180-gram vinyl in gatefold packaging.
