Conception: The Gift of Love is an album by American jazz vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson recorded in 1979 and released on the Columbia label.[1]
Reception[]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 2½ stars stating "This is one of his lesser efforts... Although well played and reasonably challenging, nothing all that memorable occurs".[2] This album, coming after his beautiful Highway One album is a masterpiece of lyrical, straight ahead Jazz. In an era when albums were produced with one or two passable hits and a bunch of filler, this album stands out as one of the truly beautiful melodic jazz albums ever produced. Eliot Coe, Jazz Director, WSND-FM
