if I'm not mistaken, this was Andrew Hill's last performance. What a loss! He really was one of the greatest and even this last concert when he was obviously very frail is just wonderful.
Thank you for posting this great set, with a Debussy meets modern jazz improvisation quality. I saw Andrew several times, the last time at San Francisco Jazz Fest (IIRC, in 2004). He would be, along with Dave Brubeck, the two pianist/composer/bandleaders I heard work their magic when they were in their eighties. They did not disappoint!.
THE SWANSONG OF A BLUE NOTE ORIGINALIST . . . .. . Farewell - life is "A Dance With Death" . And death is "A Point Of Departure" . There is no "Judgement" , no "Compulsion" - just "Grass Roots" of "Black Fire". So, "Lift Every Voice And Sing" . . .Hear ya on the other side - "Andrew" ...
@renepythoud1565 CETTE ICI EST PAR TROIS MOIS PRE DE LA MORT !!!! Didn t ya know ? You are being rudely inconsiderate & illogical. He was a master still when cette concert took place !!! Bon Voyage ...
Wonderful music, but not well recorded. There's no space nor much life in the piano or the drums, there's no bass in the bass. The piano has a single mic, poorly placed. I've done a LOT of live recordings and live sound mixes, never recorded a piano with less than two mics, nor drums with less than a spaced pair, nor a bass without a mic, often in addition to a pickup.

I was at this show with a close friend. So grateful to have seen this amazing performance with him.
One of Jazz's great geniuses! I met Andrew Hill at a hotel gig in San Francisco in 1984 and he was such a sweet man.
Touch my Soul! Thanks I Love Him & His Music!
Beauty and joy. That's what music it's all about. Love Andrew.
Says the video is unlisted. Share this with the world! Great set, thank you for uploading : )
As you wish :-)

Thank you!!
So sad Andrew!!! was gone just three weeks after this recording.
This is his final public performance
Three weeks? was that for an accident or something?
@@ailis1000 Lung Cancer, sadly.

Andrew Hill est malheureusement à bout de souffle en comparaison des années Blue Note Records - Bonne retraite

Sounds like you should email the church. It's better with headphones
