EDDIE MARSHALL - DANCE OF THE SUN 1977


I have been keen to post something by the marvelous vibist Bobby Hutcherson but his recordings have been so generously documented by the gents at OIR and PP, I decided to feature his favoured sidemen of many excellent dates. So first up is the propulsion of drummer Eddie Marshall, heartfelt stuff.



Manny Boyd - Tenor & soprano saxophones
Bobby Hutcherson - Vibraharp
George Cables - Piano
James Leary - Bass
Eddie Marshall - Drums & percussion
