Tribute to Bobby H. (an excerpt from the upcoming book: Masters of the Vibes)

It's great to see that so many people have weighed in on the legacy of Bobby Hutcherson, and expressed how important his music has been to them personally. I was lucky enough to speak (briefly) with Bobby on the phone, a few months back, when I was attempting to arrange an interview with him for the soon-to-be-released book, "Masters of the Vibes: Conversations with the Great, Living Jazz Vibraphonists." Unfortunately, I wasn't able to interview Bobby, as his health was not stellar in recent times. Instead, I wrote an homage to him, from my personal perspective.
