Andrew Hill w Eric dolphy and others...

the whole album needs a listen, but i don't know how to link it

TOH: Howard Levy

will be sure to give that a go later Mack
meanwhile enjoying this powerhouse rhythm just logged by youtube ai
hopefully with ample Kai Winding to suit even his fat yet discerning trombone pallette

Can't say enough good things about Andrew Hill. Just got into him last year. Extremely serious & badass post bop.

Agreed. He really did his own thing. That one cut I picked was because of the Dolphy solo, and I know we have some Dolphy fans here, but I really need to track down more stuff by the guy.

here's the full album
another jazzy Blue Note platter special thought better headphone consumed while typing up a little research project 'cause aw hell i also do not know cuz so well

intermezzo edit interjection - damn the second half when Hill, Dorham, and Dolphy together open up the ivory and valve nozzle blow holes while Williams flippantly rides eternal driving multiple jazz bop drummer tattoo machines with skin inking specialties including infinity heartbeat symbols between two dissimilar yet tempered metals

Playing loud while I clean the house. A big Friday night in Ohio. Dolphy's solo in the first tune is sick.

ok preemptively admitting this score may become complex pedantic dental ivory braces tightened up every fourth thumb index and pinkie chart span even for me to follow

November '63 Andrew Hill signs a contract with Blue Note and immediately pounds this out of his second band of studio musicians

Black Fire
Andrew Hill – piano and composer of all songs
Joe Henderson – tenor saxophone
Richard Davis – bass
Roy Haynes – drums

unable to find a complete album without playlist but here is a representative instrumental execution of a complex original composition with Hill vamping on piano

also this next song same album

wasn't aware until recently Anthony Hill pianoeered the first six songs of Roland Kirk not to be confused moreso with van Domino from '62
flouting what leaders of mischief they both turned out to be

a month later December '63 Hill records his second Blue Note album as a leader
again all songs original compositions

Smoke Stack
Andrew Hill – piano
Richard Davis – bass
Eddie Khan – bass
Roy Haynes – drums

sandwiched between was the assination of jack kennedy by the coward harvey oswald same day as aldous huxley died from throat cancer

Loving the history lesson. We have yet to mention the album I bought on vinyl last year.

next month and year resulted in Judgment! recorded first week of Jan '64

Andrew Hill – piano and again composer of all songs
Bobby Hutcherson – vibraphone
Richard Davis – bass
Elvin Jones – drums

worth listening to alone for the opening track Siete Ocho in 7/8 time

two months after was Point of Departure recorded in march as mentioned above.

last in the string of genius was Andrew!!! with this crowd of pluckers emphasised with additional exclamation points recorded in june same year and less than a humane gestation period between his first for the label

Andrew Hill – piano and again composer of all songs
John Gilmore – tenor saxophone
Bobby Hutcherson – vibraphone
Richard Davis – double-bass
Joe Chambers – drums

unable to find a full album recording but the following is a highlight right as the US Civil Rights act was passed earlier that week

Bobby Hutcherson is worthy of a whole side quest. Little known fact, he put the vibe in the vibraphones. Lovely melodic player.

my goal is to dig in a bit to all of Hill's sidemen and see where exactly they were at in their relationships with Miles, Trane, and several other seminal recordings

I had to Google it. There are 4 octaves on a bass clarinet.

A jazzy cover. I'll put it here.

That must have been quite the show because Freebody Park is small. The main show was at Festival Field which is about three minutes from where I live. Takes me ten minutes to get to Freebody Park.

I went to the last Jazz Festival held in Festival Field in 1971. It was moved to NYC the following year and is now held at Fort Adams in Newport.

so jealous of your newport proximity
spent sum total of a dozen or so years less than a coltrane solo away from monterey but never when able to afford it

I've been able to go to the Jazz and Folk festivals the past few years. Jazz tickets are easy to get. Folk festival, on the other hand, sells out in two minutes. One of my friends gets Folk tickets because he makes donations. It's quite the venue with people watching from boats.

Which draws the cuter girls, Jazz or Folk?
