Andrew Hill Piano
Ben Riley Drums
Clifford Jordan Sax (Tenor)
Giancarlo Barigozzi Engineer
Giovanni Bonandrini Producer
Rufus Reid Bass
Reid and Riley create exactly the right background for Hill, taut but undogmatic, elastic around the end of phrases, constantly propulsive without becoming predictable.
---The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD - Eighth Edition
Pianist Andrew Hill's first recording as a leader in six years was particularly notable for co-starring (and challenging) the underrated tenor Clifford Jordan. The quartet set (with bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Ben Riley) has six of Hill's typically challenging and complex inside/outside originals, a perfect outlet for Jordan and the pianist to interact. Stimulating and unusual music that is difficult to classify as anything but "modern jazz." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
