Bobby Hutcherson was born in 1941, made his debut on Blue Note as a bandleader in 1965, and is the second most famous vibraphonist in jazz history (Milt Jackson is in first place). Hutcherson has played with almost all of the great figures of his time—Jackie McLean, Herbie Hancock, and, of course, the genius above all geniuses, Eric Dolphy. Those who know Dolphy's Out to Lunch know that Hutcherson is an American giant. (Jazz Alley, 2033 Sixth Ave, 441-9729. 7:30 and 9:30 pm, $27.50, all ages. Through Sun May 18.)
