Bobby Hutcherson Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Bobby Hutcherson (born January 27, 1941 in Los Angeles, California) is a jazz vibraphone and marimba player. His vibraphone playing is suggestive of the style of Milt Jackson in its free-flowing melodicism, but his sense of harmony and group interaction is thoroughly modern. Hutcherson has influenced younger vibraphonists including Steve Nelson, Joe Locke and Stefon Harris."Little B's Poem" (from the album Components) is one of his best-known compositions.

The way Milt [Jackson] played made me feel like I had money in my pocket. It was so satisfying. The sound was warm and round. I'd heard Lionel Hampton and Red Norvo before, but Milt really spoke to me. He played those long lines, and it was very soulful, very talking-to-you. I thought I could duplicate that. It took me a long time to realize that those are Milt's cookies, leave 'em alone.
