Originally released in 1966, Happenings was vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson's fourth Blue Note release as a leader. Where its predecessors Dialogue and Components were stock full with challenging avant-bop, Happenings instead brings things down a notch. With pianist Herbie Hancock, drummer Joe Chambers and bassist Bob Cranshaw on board, Hutcherson keeps the tone fairly light, performing his original compositions (the exception is Hancock's "Maiden Voyage") with a mellow, swinging style that emphasizes modal exploration. The performances are all top-notch and the album still weighs in as one of the best in Hutcherson's fine catalog.
