Hill first recorded as a sideman in 1955, but his reputation was made by his Blue Note recordings as leader from 1963 to 1969, which featured several other important post-bop musicians including Eric Dolphy, Bobby Hutcherson, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, and Tony Williams, as well as two of John Gilmore's rare outings away from Sun Ra. Hill also played on albums by Hutcherson (Dialogue, 1965), Henderson (Our Thing, 1963), Hank Mobley (No Room for Squares, 1963), and Sam Rivers (Involution, 1966).
Hill had rarely worked as a sideman since that time, preferring to play his own compositions. As a result, his public exposure was severely limited. He obtained a doctorate in music from Colgate University and served as the university's composer in residence from 1970 to 1972. He later taught in California and at Portland State University. He returned to New York City in 1990, continuing to perform and record, working in the avant garde and modal jazz idioms.
He has always been known for the rhythmic and harmonic complexity of his performances and compositions. His album Dusk was selected as the best album of 2001 by both Downbeat and JazzTimes. As a consequence of his renewed prominence, a new Blue Note album titled Time Lines was released on February 21, 2006.
Andrew Hill passed away on April 20th, 2007 after a long battle with cancer.

Just dig what these incredible musicians are doing..... Get into the complexity of it all and enjoy the challenges
Jospin van raat
Magnifique! The man was an absolute undervalued genius!
Arnold Young
Andrew, Richard & Joe with my personal master, the great Roy Haynes - also one of the best of the brilliant Blue Note album covers by Reid Miles - Andrew's music is somewhat overlooked in my opinion.
Jospin van raat
Agree. His somewhat Monk style maybe disuaded many jazz lovers!.. WHY I don't know. His body of work is of consistant high standard!
BENNO VON ARCIMBOLDI
The album is a masterpiece whit the "liquid" piano of Hill. I love Haynes drumming, so crisp and elusive, everytime in chase of piano phrasing
Bill Strohler
Just read this on Wikipedia
Initially, Philly Joe Jones was scheduled to play on the album, but was replaced by Roy Haynes after scheduling issues

Words cannot describe this level of brilliance!!!!!!!
Jermy Hopkisn
I have realized recently that Andrew Hill was the fucking master and no other composer besides maybe Grachan Moncur comes close. He doesn't consistently blow me away as an improviser, but man oh man, those compositions.

You speak the truth. Evolution and Black Fire are perfect albums.
Udo Matthias drums
still love the playing of Roy Haynes!!
