Like many great collaborations, Harold Land joining forces with Bobby Hutcherson was the fruitful artistic spark needed to elevate his career. Beginning in late 1967, The Peace-Maker was recorded in two sessions and offers the perfect, lively synergy of Land’s collaboration with Hutcherson. Transcending the tradition of hard bop standards, Land had also taken a five year hiatus as a bandleader, making this offering all the more dazzling.
