John L Posted April 28, 2003 Report Posted April 28, 2003 Andrew Hill and Joe Henderson had a rare musical communication, as evidenced by the extraordinary music that they made together at Blue Note. In the liner notes to Black Fire, Hill emphasizes the degree to which he and Joe Henderson understand each other musically and like playing together. Given this fact, I am a bit puzzled as to why they never recorded together after 1970, particularly as they both moved to Nothern California around the same time. Is there any story here? Did they have some sort of fall out? Quote
John L Posted April 30, 2003 Author Report Posted April 30, 2003 Well, I guess I will have to ask Andrew about it next time that I get the chance. Quote
Cliff Englewood Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Well, I guess I will have to ask Andrew about it next time that I get the chance. Did you get to ask him your question and, more importantly, did you get an answer??? Quote
John L Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 Wow, I forgot that I even started this thread back in 2003. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to talk to Andrew Hill again, and have never received an answer to my question. Quote
fkimbrough Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 There's a bootleg concert recording of them together in a quartet in Paris - March 25, 1988. That's the only recording that I know of......... Quote
sal Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Its too bad they didn't record together more. "Black Fire" and "Point of Departure" are high points of 60's jazz. Quote

For me, that session is the least successful Henderson-Hill collaboration (I don't know why; it's a perfect band). Edited March 22, 2009 by Popkin Quote
