Bobby Hutcherson - Natural Illusions

Photobucket

Smoothness from my man Bobby Hutcherson. He must have had an orchestra with him on this one, because every track has strings to help him out. This one really has that nighttime, downtown, smokey potholes, rainy night type of vibe. Yall urbanites know exactly what I'm talkin about. There's also a real nice soul vibe on the album too, so it definitely has a lil somethin for everyone.
(funny story)
I'm listening to this in my iTunes as I type, and the album finished. The next song that came up was 'Bobby McFarren - Don't Worry Be Happy' Ultimate MOOD kill, lol)

Enjoy this one.
