A nice morning, and I slept well, which was welcome. Starting off with another Andrew Hill, “Compulsion” on Blue Note, a Japanese SHM-CD version, UCCQ-5118.

 

 

Very percussive, and some interesting playing by John Gilmore.

The best Andrew Hill record of all time in my opinion. Period. 

For my wife,

This is one of Hawes' finest recordings, IMO.  Five stars! 

I think so, too. And the closest to outside playing in his discography.

This afternoon, I played two of my favourite Mongo albums, in my own CDR compilation, as they were recorded at the same series of sessions:
