Andrew Hill: Point Of Departure (CD: Blue Note RVG)
Alfred Lion considered Andrew Hill his last major discovery and rightly so. Hill's rich, rhythmic piano and utterly unique compositions stand alone.

Three alternate takes have been added to the original LP. (Blue Note Records)A BEBOP SHOP MILESTONE- An essential recording for your jazz CD shelf

Andrew Hill: Pax (CD: Blue Note Connoisseur)
For some unexplained reason, one of Andrew Hill’s best early Blue Note sessions remained in the can for ten years. This February 1965 date with Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson, Richard Davis and Joe Chambers finds Hill during his first peak era, but the results did not surface until five tunes were issued on a 1975 double album entitled “One For One.” Hill’s music is difficult to master, but here he is among his creative peers – men who can bring his music to life with power and understanding.

Andrew Hill: Compulsion (CD: Blue Note RVG)
Blue Note founder Alfred Lion considered Andrew Hill his last great discovery. “Compulsion” comes from that peak period (1963-65) when it seemed that Andrew Hill was recording a masterpiece every four months. With this album, the pianist/composer moved his music into denser, freer territory adding two percussionist to the quintet with great results. These extended performances, driven by Joe Chambers’ beautiful, sensitive drumming, offer great solos from Hill, Freddie Hubbard and John Gilmore. (Blue Note Records)

 | Andrew Hill: Change (CD: Blue Note Connoisseur)
The protean pianist/composer Andrew Hill has enjoyed a renaissance of late. His challenging compositions and unique style have garnered a late-blooming acknowledgement of his genius. Change, featuring saxophonist Sam Rivers, bassist Walter Booker, and drummer J.C. Moses, combines six tracks which first appeared on Rivers' 1979 Involution disc and two tracks which have only appeared on a large Mosaic set. At the time of recording the Change session was given a catalog number, edited and sequenced but never released. The entire 1966 session appears here in its complete form for the first time.

Andrew Hill: Hommage (CD: Test Of Time)
Following in the footsteps of the release of PASSING SHIPS and DANCE OF DEATH on Blue Note, our release by Andrew Hill of HOMMAGE is one of the few solo piano efforts that he recorded. Captured by the master engineer, David Baker, at the Vanguard Studio in New York City on May 19 & 20 and July 31, 1975, six of the seven tracks are Hill's original compositions. Hill is known for his haunting & cerebral melodies that are rhythmically as well as harmonically complex. Because this recording was his first solo album in his then 20-year career, he was very deliberate in preparing for this session, from his playing right down to the selection of the piano. At his strong insistence, the track "Naked Spirit" was recorded in complete darkness to allow him to let his fingers be guided solely by his spirit. This is a unique and rare recording that illustrates why Andrew Hill deserves a place in jazz history. (The Woods)

 | Andrew Hill: Time Lines (CD: Blue Note)
With his first recording for the label since 1990, the innovative, acclaimed pianist/composer Andrew Hill begins his third era with Blue Note Records with his new quintet recording, TIME LINES. Hill first made a name for himself with a series of groundbreaking albums for the label between 1963–1970 that included Point of Departure, Black Fire & Judgment! Time Lines finds Hill, at 68 years old, forever pushing forward at the helm of a vastly creative quintet that gives gorgeous readings of eight new Hill compositions and reunites him with the trumpeter Charles Tolliver, who was featured on several of Hill’s early Blue Note sessions.
