The drummer's name is Tony Williams. He is, along with Elvin Jones (from Coltrane's 60's band) the father of all modern jazz drumming. The scary thing is that when Out To Lunch was recorded, Tony Williams was 19 years old. Nineteen fucking years old.
If you want to hear some stuff he did outside of this album, check out:
Andrew Hill - Point of Departure
Miles Davis - ESP, Miles Smiles, Sorcerer, Miles In The Sky, Filles de Kilamanjaro. The absolute best of the Miles Davis band with Tony Williams is the live Bootleg called Winter in Europe.
Tony Williams- Lifetime, Spring.
Grachan Moncur III- Evolution (where Tony Williams was 17 yo)
and that's just a start.
For more of Bobby Hutcherson, the vibes player, try his album Dialogue.
In my honest opinion, probably the most progressive/revolutionary, least covered and least understood musics of all time is what jazz musicians were doing from about the mid-sixties and through the seventies.
