B. Goren. Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) If you consider your self as Andrew Hill's fans, you must listen to Nefertiti. Nefertiti was recorded by Hill on 1976 and to the best of my knowledge was not available on CD until it was reissued a few months ago. Andrew Hill features bassist Richard Davis who's (together with Paul Chambers) my all time favorite bassist and drummer Roger Blank. The music is beautiful and reminds me very much Hills recordings for Steeplechase: Devine Revelation and Invitation. Completely different from Hill of the 60's. No self-respecting Hill's fan should be without this album... Edited August 13, 2005 by B. Goren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 I'd second that assessment. A very nice record. And Richard Davis would have to be one of my favorite bassists as well. I've had this on vinyl since the early days of my Hill obsession. Beautiful cover, too, at least on the LP. I assume the CD is the same.

MartyJazz Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 I'll second that. Definitely a very good purchase of a Steeplechase LP that I made when it was initially released. Bronislaw Kaper's "Invitation" is one of my favorite compositions and I love Hill's dense treatment of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 I'll fourth that ... nice to have this one on CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Sounds like a good one! Nice that it has reappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Nefertititi is great. His solo cd ' Homage' ( East West) is also excellent and well worth searching for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontooneous Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Am I the only one who's dragged by Roger Blank's playing? (Not dragged by anything else on the record, though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connoisseur series500 Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 It is a very good cd. I've actually had a Japanese version for approx. two years, so it's been out on cd before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 So, those who have heard it, what might be the problem with Roger's drumming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEK Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 I had the Inner City (?) LP since way-back-when and now have the Japanese CD. I've never had a problem with Roger Blank's drumming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
