Flanked by a fine quartet (a bassist, drummer, trumpeter, and the multi-talented Greg Tardy on tenor sax, clarinet, and bass clarinet), Hill still reels off witty, elliptical piano lines that bring together modal music and free jazz with strains of traditional bop structure. Packed with both fine compositions and playing all around, TIME LINES shows that Hill is still capable of making works of quiet, incisive brilliance.
Personnel: Andrew Hill (piano); Greg Tardy (clarinet, bass clarinet, tenor saxophone); Charles Tolliver (trumpet); John Hebert (upright bass); Eric McPherson (drums).
Recording information: Bennett Studios, Englewood, NJ (2005).
