As I was looking into this feature on Hutchersons' sidemen, I discovered that several of Hutchersons' recorded tracks (specifically Blue Note) were rejected from their originial LP release, or the LP not released at all. Some though not all, have since resurfaced on various compilations or CD versions of the original LP listed as bonus tracks. Why certain tracks are rejected is a curious matter of debate, but for now I'm glad to appreciate what we have of this music today.
