  I did a web magazine review of "Time Lines". It is a superb disc and approaches the level of "Point of Departure". It can be found on Mr. Hill's website under reviews (Birney Brown). What a scholarly jazz man he was!!! Just a titan of music.

  And we are all the losers. Time marches on, jazz greats pass, and thank the gods we have their recordings to remember them by.

  Oh, and by way of using this as my soapbox, if you're ever given the chance to see the pitifully few living jazz legends still around live DO NOT pass up the chance. All too soon they'll not be around and you'll kick yourself forever for missing the chance.

  Goodbye Andrew. You may be gone, but you legacy will live forever.

      The opening track on Hill's Point of Departure (Blue Note) is one that, if it turns you on, I doubt you'll ever tire of. It's that good! Dolphy is on this with Joe Henderson and Kenny Dorham on the front line and Richard Davis and Tony Williams bringing up the rear. How's that for a lineup. Hill would reign in the energy on this with the help of Davis and Williams numerous times and then release it. Made me think of a team of horses with the driver pulling back on the reigns and then letting go.
      
      With vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson comes another intriguing and sometimes beautiful release, Judgment, also on Blue Note.
      
      This man was a one of a kind composer and player.

    I hear you... I am kicking myself for not making the effort to get out of my apt a little over a week ago when Sonny Rollins was playing at NJPAC.

  Sad indeed. I'm not the biggest fan of Andrew's music but I do think he had two records that are classics... "Black Fire" and that one with Dolphy whose title escapes me at the moment. Brain fart. Funny because I listen to those two a lot.

      His last work (2006) is a fine coda.

  and the recent "rediscovery" of his talents in the past few years, combined with his recent output on BN was a very wonderful thing to see and hear.

  RIP indeed...
