Guest Chaney Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Maybe this is a subtle way of encouraging active listening on our part. WE are the fifth man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 You're all wrong - it's Murray The K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Well, there are six tunes on this set. Maybe "quintet" refers to the number of tunes... but it's STILL wrong! It's a shame that Divine died before revealing the answer to this mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 What's this album like, Rooster? I've recently seen a good vinyl copy and have it in my sights ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJ Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 I'm reminded of Paul Desmond's story about how, during his long tenure with Brubeck, stewardesses all over the world would routinely ask him, "So, how many of you are there in the quartet?"

Saint Vitus Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 This is by Andrew's (what appears to be the) regular quartet at the time. The same lineup appears on the East Wind title (Blue Black) that recently appeared on CD. Vass has the light, dry tone on alto and flute. White and Williams may not be that well known, but they are more than competent to handle the complexities Andew set in his compositions. Both Divine Revelation and Blue Black sound like the extension from Hill's Blue Notes (Smoke Stack and Judgment). There are some meandering/confusing moments, but the records deliver several inspired stretches of music that leave the listener (this one, at least) satisfied in the end.

sidewinder Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Thanks - that's got me tempted ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Yeah, it's a darn fine side. I got the old Inner City release of it. I dig Vass inparticular, lots of "snakey" (as in winding phraseology, not as in "snakecharmer") playing on his part. If you dig Hill at all, I think you'll be quite pleased with this one.

paul secor Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 My lp copy, Steeplechase SCS-1044, reads "ANDREW HILL QUARTET" on the cover. The cd mastering must have added something (or someone). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
