Dialogue is a studio album by jazz percussionist Bobby Hutcherson, released on the Blue Note label in 1965. This was Hutcherson's first LP released as bandleader (though an earlier session, The Kicker, was released in 1999) following work with Eric Dolphy. The album features four Andrew Hill compositions and two Joe Chambers pieces. It has received widespread critical acclaim and is considered by most critics to be one of Hutcherson's greatest achievements. Written in an 8/4 Latin style, the opener, "Catta", is the most conventional piece on the album (as drummer Chambers said in the liner notes; "conventional?"). "Idle While" is a lyrical waltz provided by Chambers. "Les Noirs Marchant", meaning "The Blacks are marching", is a militaristic march using collective improvisation. "Dialogue" displays the influence of free jazz. "Ghetto Lights" was written whilst Hutcherson was at pianist Andrew Hill's house and was inspired by a tune played by Hill's wife, Laverne. As Hutcherson recounted, "some of her tunes had a real ghetto feel". The CD bonus track "Jasper" was originally released on the 1968 album Spiral.
