Andrew Hill: Smoke Stack
by John Kelman
Emerging at the beginning of the '60s, Andrew Hill was always difficult to pigeonhole. The pianist was too aligned with mainstream harmony to be considered avant garde, too complex a writer to be considered free, too abstruse a player to be considered mainstream. The people at Blue Note knew they had a gem when they signed ...

Andrew Hill : Smoke Stack / Time Lines
by AAJ Italy Staff
Cade a proposito (e sicuramente non è frutto del caso) la decisione della Blue Note di pubblicare Time Lines, il nuovo lavoro di Andrew Hill, quasi contestualmente alla ristampa di Smoke Stack, seconda incisione del pianista risalente al 1963 e già edita su CD nel 1995. I quasi quarantadue anni che separano le due registrazioni permettono ...

Andrew Hill: Time Lines and Full Circles
by Paul Olson
Andrew Hill's a busy man. “I'm playing in New York in March and after that, I'm going to Europe for a European promo for a few days with the quintet, he smiles. “The next month, I'm touring Europe then touring Europe again a bit after that. I have a commitment to do a ...
Andrew Hill: Coming Back Full Circle
by Paul Olson
Although pianist/composer Andrew Hill has recorded for a variety of record labels, he is, in many ways, one of the quintessential Blue Note recording artists. Signed to the label after relocating to New York from his native Chicago in the early 1960s by label founder Alfred Lion (who later referred to the pianist/composer/bandleader as his “last ...
Andrew Hill: Time Lines
by Jim Santella
Pianist Andrew Hill gives his audience something different. He's not concerned so much with a comfortable rhythmic groove or spot-on ensemble tone quality as he is with the spontaneity and free will of jazz. He and the members of his quintet stretch out for creative soloing and combine cohesively for an interesting affair on Time Lines. ...
Andrew Hill: Time Lines
by John Kelman
Sadly, art is often not recognized until the artist is gone. That certainly appeared like it was going to be the fate for pianist Andrew Hill. Despite releasing a spate of innovative records for Blue Note in the 1960s, he seemed perennially overshadowed by the artists he worked with, including vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson and saxophonist Joe ...

by Mark F. Turner
Andrew Hill Time Lines Blue Note 2006 You would think that after playing for more than half a century, performing with greats like Miles Davis and Charlie Parker, leading and producing acclaimed recordings with names of Eric Dolphy, Lee Morgan, and many others, that pianist/composer Andrew Hill--who is nearly seventy ...
Andrew Hill: Time Lines
by Chris May
At the venerable age of 68, Andrew Hill has made an album which is as lithe, fearless, exhilarating, luminous, exploratory, at-the-barricades and immortal as anything he's ever recorded, including his signature 1964 masterpiece, Point Of Departure. It's an extraordinary achievement. It's hard to think of more than half a dozen artists over 65 who've defied chronology ...
