The musical partnership between vibraphonistBobby Hutcherson a Blue Note stalwart since his arrival on the New York jazz scene in 1963and tenor saxophonistHarold Landfully blossomed on the 1970 albumSan Francisco, though the musicians had already been exploring the far reaches of post-bop going back to 1968 on albums includingTotal Eclipse,Spiral, andMedina. OnSan Franciscothey joined forces with pianistJoe Sample, bassistJohn Williams, and drummerMickey Rokerto form a band with a muscular sound that set a foot firmly in fusion on relentlessly grooving tunes like Goin Down South and Ummh, while indulging a wide range of other influences which gave the group its distinctive flavor, from the Latin-tinged numbers Jazz and A Night In Barcelona to exploratory pieces like the mesmerizing Prints Tie and transcendent Procession.
