Knucklebean is an album by jazz vibraphone and marimba player Bobby Hutcherson. It was released in 1977 by Blue Note Records.[1] The musicians were Hutcherson's regular band plus guests Freddie Hubbard and Hadley Caliman.[2]
The Bay State Banner wrote that "Hutch doesn't lack for solo time in which he skitters, pinpoints, breezes, and hums as his fancy inclines; but we also hear Freddie Hubbard's muted trumpet (as in 'Little B's Poem') sounding flaky and critical."[3]
