SCCD 31026 Invitation / Andrew Hill Trio



The Chicago born pianist Andrew Hill recorded seven highly acclaimed albums
for Blue Note in the mid-60s and became something of a cult legend. But in
1969 he withdrew from the recording and performing scene as a jazz musician
and took up a post as composer in residence at Colgate University and later
at the Smithsonian. This 1974 recording for SteepleChase is the first one in
his five-year break from the jazz scene and the first ever trio recording
which was enthusiastically received by critics and his followers.



" The SteepleChase Invitation may be one of Hill's most personal recorded
legacies..." (Bay State Banner)



" ...a very fine release, ...an invitation that all readers should take up."
(Jazz Journal)
