Andrew Hill (piano); Jimmy Vass (saxofone soprano); Chris White (contrabaixo); Leroy Williams (bateria). Depois de mais de uma dezena de discos na Blue Note, tarefa que lhe ocupou quase a década de sessenta toda, a partir de 1969 Andrew Hill tirou uma prolongada sabática, que durou até 1974. Este Blue Black foi publicado no ano seguinte e revela um Hill mais solto que nos discos precedentes. O disco foi reeditado em 2005 pela Test of Time Records ........ This is the third release of Andrew Hill’s work for Test of Time Records after Hommage and Nefertiti. All five tracks featured in this album are Hill’s originals. Andrew Hill’s rich soundscapes are taken to another level in the form of a quartet. Accompanying him are Chris White on bass, Leroy Williams on drums, and Jimmy Vass on soprano sax / alto sax / flute. These are the same players who performed on another Andrew Hill album recorded later in 1975 called Divine Revelations from Steeple Chase Records. Enjoy the imaginative and challenging compositional style of Andrew Hill that has withstood the test of time. - 441 Records
