Any other jazz vibraharpists or marimbists to share?
I know of three recording artists from the 1960s of whom I particularly fond.
Lem Winchester: Released 4 solid LPs, 1959-60, then tragically passed.
My favourite, Walt Dickerson: Released 4 LPs, 1961-62; by 1965, he left the scene for 10 years or so. His music is pacesetting for sure -- his bandmates include the progressive musicians Andrew Cyrille and Andrew Hill (the latter on 1 LP -- an early appearance!). His dates are all quartets (w/piano, double bass and drum kit) -- so he gives us that intimate chamber feel that Hutch favoured.
Ayers, of course -- before the '70s. His three late '60s LPs for Atlantic are for the most part, solid post-bop sessions.
