Andrew Hill - Smoke Stack LP

On his second Blue Note album Smoke Stack, pianist and composer Andrew Hill used an unusual instrumentation of two bassists (Richard Davis and Eddie Khan) together with the masterful Roy Haynes on drums. Blue Note founder Alfred Lion considered Hill to be as distinctive and important a compositional voice as Thelonious Monk, and the seven Hill compositions the quartet explores here contain all the rare beauty found in his music. Designer Reid Miles photographed Hill himself for the eye-catching design of the album cover. This Blue Note 80 Vinyl Edition is completely analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes and pressed to 180g vinyl at Optimal.
