After these few days of br00tal music I think it's about time for some sweet jazz. Well, it's not exactly sweet sounding but it's sweet to the ears nonetheless. If I could, I would share everything Andrew Hill ever made. I adore this guy and his playing, he does this mixture of free jazz and post-bob so well that it's always a joy for me to listen to his albums.
Judgement! is a special album in his discography because he is joined by none other than Bobby Hutcherson on vibraphone. Their interaction is the biggest part of this whole album. The sound of vibraphone and Andrews dissonant chords and passages fit very well with each other and they give this album a very sinister and brooding feeling. And all this is held together by great playing from Elvin Jones on drums and Richard Davis on double bass (who participated on some great records like Out To Lunch!). Overall it's a great album, not really that "far out" but it's still restless and adventurous. Certainly worth a try.
Get.
