It is one of the best Blue Note releases too .... at least to me  ....

It's exceptional.  No doubt about that. ... OTOH, if I were forced to pick just one of Hill's BNs, I'd probably go with Judgment.  

But you can hardly go wrong.  Just throw a dart at the wall.  His entire discography is an "embarrassment of riches."

Next up:

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - In My Prime, Vol. 2 (Timeless, rec. 1977)

You`right, it`s nearly impossible to go for the best Andrew Hill outing on Blue Note .... but if hard-pressed I would go with "Black Fire" followed by "Dance With Death" .....

On most days, my faves are Judgment and Passing Ships.

This is one of my all time favorite CDs.  Trust me, if you've never heard it, you'll want to.  Incredible music by wonderful musicians.

This has long been a favorite record of mine. Had it on LP originally.  Ted O'Reilly made a CD-R for me. Model liner notes by Don Brown who used to post here occasionally.

Inspired by a post on another forum, and remembering when I met Ravi Shankar, I ordered a used copy of this cd and am listening to it now. 

If authentic, my cd itself appears to be autographed by Ravi and Anoushka!

Interesting music. Nicely recorded.

Jaimie Branch – Fly Or Die (International Anthem, 2017)

Some bad rumours on social media tonight. Really hoping they're not true. This for me is the best record IA has released. Giving it a spin now.

Listened to this yesterday to hear some relatively early Horace Tapscott.

This is one of the very best Blue Note covers, IMO.  So many things to love about it.

In fact -- aside from the unremarkable Andrew!!! -- the design of Hill's BN album covers is consistently inspired. 

Just like Hill's music.

 

I love it too, but the most interesting Andrew Hill I ever heard was on Bobby Hutchersons album I don´t remember the title, maybe "Dialoque".... ? 
I would have liked to hear one thing that was on one Sam Rivers double LP from that paperbag-cover albums , it was Sam Rivers´ album and had the session by Rivers , which I later bought as something called "Extensions" or "Dimensions" without piano, with Julian Priester on it, very very fine, but what really impressed me then was the second LP where Andrew Hill was the leader. I had borrowed that double album from a friend and taped it on cassette, but I don´t have those cassettes anymore, which is natural. 
But I don´t know what Album it was, it must have been from about the same time, 60´s, and I think it had Bud Powell´s former drummer J.C. Moses on drums, a very fine drummer.
