BruceH Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Another must-have. We just had a great time revisiting this one on live chat the other night. This album is also significant because, if memory serves, Hill also composed half the tracks. (I vote for Black Fire and Judgement.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Since starting this thread years ago, I have picked up Andrew!!!, Pax and Dance with Death. In addition to the two titles I mentioned in the first post. Andrew!!! with Bobby Hutcherson has made the biggest impression on me. But I love all of these albums.

Man with the Golden Arm Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 please please please don't pass "JUDGEMENT!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 No love for Compulsion!!!!!! ??????? The first track is killer! I mean, how can you go wrong with a line up including Hubbard, Gilmore, McBee, Davis and Chambers? The percussion too, I think, adds a lot to this date and it really has an open feel to it. If I recall, both McBee and Davis play together on track three, with just Hill and the percussionists. Great stuff, IMO. I also didn't see anyone mention Change either, with Sam Rivers. Maybe another sleeper I guess, but its another great date with Walter Booker playing a little more freely than usual. Grass Roots is the Rare Groove if you will, but its Hill at his funkiest with Jimmy Ponder on the second session (a rare occurance of Hill with a guitarist). If you can fine this one, I'd recommend you grab it too. Another thumbs up for Judgment!, Andrew!!!, Passing Ships, Black Fire and Pax. More thumbs up for the later dates such as A Beautiful Day, Dusk and But Not Farewell (if you can ever find it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrdlu Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 All of those BN sessions that Andrew did with Richard Davis are fabulous. There is lots of variety in instrumentation too. You can't go wrong. Richard was very important to these sessions; no other bassist could possibly have helped more. The later BN stuff is rather a bore to me, except the funky album, "Grass Roots" with the picture of some kids playing in a park on the cover. I have never heard a note of Andrew's post-BN work. Where could I?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I have never heard a note of Andrew's post-BN work. Where could I?? I have an album on Arista/Freedom from I think the late 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Berger Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Summit Conference is indeed excellent. Another plug for Summit Conference. Probably the best album including Andrew I've heard that post-dates the early 70s. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the later years, I recently stumbled on some live recordings from 2004-2006 in excellent sound that (IMO) go well beyond the official releases of the time. Brilliant music! For anybody interested, King Ubu can probably fix you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWayne Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Also thumbs up for "Les Trinitaires". I have a copy of the CD but have been looking for the original for ages. Great to hear live versions of some of the "Dusk" material. My favorite Blue Notes continue to be "Black Fire", "Smokestack", and "Time Lines" Seeing him live twice are memories I will always treasure.
