Bio
Recognized by Blue Note Records' founder Alfred Lion as his "last, great protégé," pianist Andrew Hill spent 40 years composing, performing, recording, and mentoring young musicians.
Born in Chicago in 1931, Andrew Hill began teaching himself to play piano at age 10, and was later introduced to German composer and music theorist-inexile Paul Hindemith. He started performing in 1952 with touring jazz musicians, including Charlie Parker, Dinah Washington, Coleman Hawkins, and Miles Davis.
He moved to New York in 1961 and shortly thereafter was contracted by Alfred Lion at Blue Note Records as a leader and a sideman, producing his early classics for the label, such as Point of Departure and Black Fire. Hill's Blue Note sessions with acclaimed musicians such as Eric Dolphy, Kenny Dorham, John Gilmore, Roy Haynes, Joe Henderson, and Elvin Jones cemented his reputation as a musician and composer of some renown.
Hill served as composer-in-residence at Colgate University of Hamilton from 1970-72. In California, he performed in concert and taught classes at public schoo

Well, here are a few words about the the fellow inflicting this rubbish on you all - truly justifying the epithet of “The Ramblings of an Idiot”! I’m Andy Hill and am now up to the very advanced age of 67 but luckily I am still equipped with a pair of legs that work pretty well to be able to wander about this great place we call home. My first love is easily my wonderful and long-suffering wife Sue and I am blessed with two lovely grown-up daughters. We live on The Isle of Purbeck near the Dorset coast in Southern England - truly one of the best bits of Britain to live in and we can walk or cycle to the sea in a day - heaven! Why walking? Well my two brothers and I were dragged around the countryside as young kids and somehow an appreciation of the Great Outdoors and walking itself settled in my small brain and I love it. Our parents took us exploring everywhere, from Castles in Wales to beaches anywhere to the Thames towpath and it just stuck with me. I was taught to walk with my head up so as to see and appreciate what is going on around me and of course a walk is much improved
