In the set I'd like to remember jazz pianist/composer Andrew Hill who was born 94 years ago on June 30, 1931. Hill's music defied categorization for over four decades with its enigmatic and sophisticated musical style. Tracks include two Hill works, a cover by drummer Chad Taylor and a collaboration with pianist Jason Moran. New releases will follow from Julian Shore, Amina Claudine Myers, Eric Reed, James Brandon Lewis, Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer and Tessa Souter. Then, some projects from American jazz pianist, composer and arranger Ralph Burns featuring vocalist Chris Connor, Duke Ellington's Spacemen, Ben Webster, and Ray Charles. Two recent releases from saxophonist Joe Henderson will follow, one an archival recording from the Five Spot with McCoy Tyner and the other a reissue featuring trumpeter Woody Shaw. And finally, to celebrate Anthony Braxton's 80th birthday, two tunes written by Thelonious Monk.
