Frank Butler, meanwhile, was a drummer's drummer, the kind of timekeeper who made everyone around him play better, as Miles Davis and others well knew. Catching Bobby Hutcherson this early in his career, before his Blue Note classic catalog took shape, makes this session a genuine document of LA jazz at a pivotal moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. Tenor saxophonist Curtis Amy's second Pacific Jazz album, Groovin' Blue, was a hard-swinging date co-led with drummer Frank Butler that was also one of the earliest recordings to feature vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson. Rounding out the band are trumpeter Carmell Jones, pianist Frank Strazzeri, and bassist Jimmy Bond. This stereo Blue Tone Poet Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe tip-on jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Gone Into It (6:10)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Annsome (8:35)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Bobblin' (5:20)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Groovin' Blue (8:05)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Beautiful You (7:36)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Very Frank (1:48)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602455421456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.7.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pacific Jazz (PJ-19, 602455421456); Blue Note (602455421456)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Worldwide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Gone Into It – 6:10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Annsome – 8:35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Bobblin' – 5:20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Groovin' Blue – 8:05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Beautiful You – 7:36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Very Frank – 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJimmy Bond – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoody Woodward – Design (Cover Design By), Cover (Cover Design By), Photography By (Photos By)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrank Butler – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKevin Gray – Lacquer Cut By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThomas Conrad (2) – Liner Notes (Insert)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKevin Gray – Mastered By (LP Mastering By)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrank Strazzeri – Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichard Bock – Producer (Production), Engineer (Audio Engineering By)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn William Hardy – Sleeve Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoe Harley – Supervised By (Reissue Supervised By)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurtis Amy – Tenor Saxophone (Tenor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarmell Jones – Trumpet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBobby Hutcherson – Vibraphone (Vibes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurtis Amy – Written-By (All Compositions By)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54553828917566,"sku":"431602","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12635035042110-transparent-v2.png?v=1791433254","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/curtis-amy-frank-butler-groovin-blue-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
