Back In Stock

Andrew Hill is one of the great "unknows" of the jazz world. The album is beautifully remastered, as one would expect from Blue Note. This edition also contains 17 minutes of alternatiave takes. Hill, Eric Dolphy and Joe Henderson are in top form in this fine example of "free jazz" before that idiom degenerated into noise.A young Tony Williams and the relatively unknown Richard Davis are also in top form.
