TOP TEN!!!.......2006-11-09

This is one of my Top Ten albums. Bought it in 1968 when it came out. It was cut out almost immediately and disappeared until now. Hill sounds so relaxed, Hutcherson is Bobby, Richard Davis is amazing, Chambers plays like the pro he was/is and there is Gilmore! The Legendary John Gilmore!!!!

The Sleeper.......2006-03-21

Andrew Hill is the most original pianist and composer in Jazz since Thelonious Monk and this recording, along with Andrew's "Point of Departure" is one of the greatest dates in Blue Note's catalogue during the 60's. Bassist Richard Davis understands Hill's conception like no other and John Gilmore, who is one of the greatest tenor saxophonist in the history of modern Jazz, never played better, with or without Sun Ra. There is no weak link in this date.

ANDREW!!!.......2006-02-28

This is one of my favorites of the early Blue Note series. Though the tunes aren't as memorable as on Black Fire, I prefer this session for it's overall chemistry. The performance of Joe Chambers is excellent. He has the intensity of Haynes, and sensitvity of Williams though is not as frantic as either. Both takes of Symmetry are outstanding. I just picked up Timelines last Tuesday and it makes me happy that Andrew is still making beautiful and challenging music. Can't get enough ANDREW!!!

My favourite Hill record!!!.......2006-01-26

This record was extremely hard to find for a very long time unless you bought the long OOP (and now very expensive and rare)Mosaic box-set. In fact, I think this is the very first time Blue Note have reissued it. Most people have Point of departure as their favourite Hill record, probably because it features Dolphy and Tony Williams, but the compositions on this one (and Judgement too for that matter) are stronger IMO and it's great to hear the AMAZING John Gilmore outside of Sun Ra's band. Gilmore was just as good as coltrane (well, almost) but due to the fact that he almost only appeared on Sun Ra-albums after the fifties meant that he had no chance to become well-known to people outside of Sun Ra's audience. And Bobby Hutcherson was just mind-blowing in this era and gave every record he appeared on a totally distinct sound. Richard Davis appeared on all early Hill records and is probably my favourite bassist of the sixties... And don't get fooled by the relatively low grade, the guy who gave it one star made a mistake which is obvious if you read his review...

Andrew Hill Meets John Gilmore.......2005-11-27

Latest in the amazing series of reissues from Andrew Hill's 1960s Blue Note catalogue. This was one of the six albums recorded during 1964 (though it wasn't released until 1968.) What is astonishing is not just that Hill was so prolific but that each album consists entirely of original compositions, all rigorously arranged and played (no extended jamming or interminable free blowing here...) Moreover each album has its own special angle & line up. If you've been following this series so far you won't need any recommendation to snap this latest up. All you might want to know is what the special angle is this time. The answer is that you have six compositions plus a couple of bonus alternate takes, all of which tend towards Hill's more cool, abstract side. The line up is Hill-piano, Richard Davis-bass, Joe Chambers-drums, Bobby Hutcherson-vibes, John Gilmore-sax. Yes that's right, John Gilmore as in the Sun Ra legend. After listening to Gilmore for years in lo-fi Saturn weirdness, it's a pleasure to hear him in post-bop mode cleverly negotiating Hill's complex arrangements, all captured in a pristine Blue Note recording by that nice Mr Rudy Van Gelder.
