Andrew Hill • Lift Every Voice

 

Reissue. Features the high-fidelity SHM-CD format (compatible with standard CD player) and the latest 24bit 192kHz remastering. A rare and beautiful Andrew Hill session, and one of the classic Blue Note entries into the "jazz and voices" sound that the label pioneered with Donald Byrd and Eddie Gale. Hill leads a core jazz group that includes Woody Shaw on trumpet, Carlos Garnett on tenor, Richard Davis on bass, and Freddie Waits on drums – and the group is backed by a vocal ensemble with a very spiritual vibe – a chorus who soar out soulfully, and really augment the jazz instrumentation of the album! The sound is a lot more hip than the Donald Byrd & Voices albums, and the playing of the core jazz group is very very soulful – along the lines of Hill's Grass Roots album, which was also from the same period. The record's similar to the Max Roach/Billy Harper vocal work around the same time, and titles include "Ghetto Lights", "Hey Hey", "Two Lullabies", and "Love Chant". CD reissue features 6 unissued bonus tracks, including "Blue Spark", "Drew's Tune", "Mother Mercy", "Natural Spirit", and "Such It Is".

Reedición. Presenta el formato SHM-CD de alta fidelidad (compatible con un reproductor de CD estándar) y la última remasterización de 24 bits y 192 kHz. Una rara y hermosa sesión de Andrew Hill, y una de las entradas clásicas de Blue Note en el sonido de "jazz y voces" en el que el sello fue pionero con Donald Byrd y Eddie Gale. Hill lidera un grupo de jazz que incluye a Woody Shaw en la trompeta, Carlos Garnett en el tenor, Richard Davis en el bajo y Freddie Waits en la batería, y el grupo está respaldado por un conjunto vocal con un ambiente muy espiritual, un coro que se eleva con alma y realmente aumenta la instrumentación de jazz del álbum. El sonido es mucho más moderno que el de los álbumes de Donald Byrd & Voices, y la forma de tocar del grupo principal de jazz es muy, muy conmovedora, en la línea del álbum Grass Roots de Hill, que también era de la misma época. El disco es similar al trabajo vocal de Max Roach/Billy Harper de la misma época, y los títulos incluyen "Ghetto Lights", "Hey Hey", "Two Lullabies" y "Love Chant". La reedición del CD incluye 6 temas extra inéditos, como "Blue Spark", "Drew's Tune", "Mother Mercy", "Natural Spirit" y "Such It Is".
