Andrew Hill returned to the Blue Note label (where he made many significant releases during 1963-80) for a stimulating quintet date with vibraphonist
Bobby Hutcherson, altoist
Greg Osby, bassist
Rufus Reid and drummer
Ben Riley in 1989. The pianist's six originals (which are joined by three alternate takes on the CD) his dense chords behind the other improvisers and his own unpredictable solos are not all overshaowed by his talented sideman, even
Osby who is heard in particularly inspired form. There are no weak performances on this superb post bop effort,
Andrew Hill's strongest recording in several years. ~ Scott Yanow
