Cirrus is an album by American jazz vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson recorded in 1974 and released on the Blue Note label.[1]

## Reception

[edit]

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4 stars and stated "While it doesn't quite match the heights of their early collaborations, Cirrus finds Bobby Hutcherson resuming his partnership with tenor saxophonist Harold Land, and the results are quite good... The music is a little smoother than their earlier collaborations, but there are enough captivating, provocative moments to make the reunion a success".[2]
