Guest donald petersen Posted May 1, 2007 Report Posted May 1, 2007 i was listening to a tape of an andrew hill trio performance from 1972 and is it possible that the bassist is playing an electric bass? it sort of sounds like it. Quote

Guy Berger Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 In the liner notes to the Sam Rivers Mosaic, Sam says: Andrew is the closest thing to Monk that I know. I remember Gigi Gryce coming back from some gigs with Monk in the fifties and saying "this guy is amazing. No matter what I played, he'd be right there. I couldn't play a wrong note." Same thing with Andrew. Their harmonic conceptions are so broad that they can make anything fit. Whatever you do fits the harmonic concept. Quote
AndrewHill Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 Compulsion!!! is such a great record. I was just playing this reissue when I heard of his death. Man, what a superb album, and to think that it took Andrew Hill's incentive to get this one released. Compulsion!!! is now one of my most favorite BN releases of the past few years. Yet another reminder of his genius. Quote
B. Goren. Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 I have started my weekend with Invitation. One of Hill' best trio recordings, IMHO. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 Just listening to the Andrew Hill edition of the Marion McPartland 'Piano Jazz'. Wow ! Quote

bertrand Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 Has the McPartland been formally issued? Bertrand. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 5, 2007 Report Posted May 5, 2007 No. Wish it were. Will be interesting to hear. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) A very good Hill obit in Saturday's London Times. Times Obituary After buying copies of this for the expected obit, it finally appears on the day I don't buy a copy. Edited May 7, 2007 by sidewinder Quote
