If you like going even a little outside of mainstream, this album is just pure brilliance. Arguably one of the best jazz dates of the 60s. This is like Eric Dolphy, "Out To Lunch" level of greatness!

Compared to my CD, this has a less aggressive, slightly more agreeable sound.
Not day and night differences, but I prefer the Qobuz hi-res stream.
Recorded in '64.

Few people would mention Andrew Hill amongst the greatest jazz men.
I wasn't aware until Dean posted this very special album.
