5 out of 5 stars Result is the Judement of Nature.......1998-08-23

Andrew Hill has developed one of the most distinctive and original voices on piano which he guages in a manner that is not be-bop nor free and yet, holding semblance to both schools. His melodic sense runs smooth and linear. His phrasing is sudden and punctuated by chordal spurts. His group accomidate him in surprising and delightful ways, Eric Dolphy (reeds) and Richard Davis (bass) stand out particularly well. This music contradicts itself constantly. Musicians that are capable of being this unconventional and at the same time, inoffensive are few. Andrew Hill is one of the few remaining pioneers in this music and we are blessed to still have him with us. It is difficult to imagine anyone not enjoying this recording.
