Four Seasons is an album by vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, pianist George Cables, bassist Herbie Lewis and drummer Philly Joe Jones featuring performances recorded in 1983 and originally given limited release in 1984 in Japan on Baystate as Nice Groove before being more widely released the following year on the Dutch Timeless label.

Reception

On Allmusic, Scott Yanow observed "This set by vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson is a bit unusual in that, rather than playing complex originals, he interprets seven jazz standards. ... Hutcherson sounds in top form".
