Passing Ships is the latest release from Jazz Superstar Andrew Hill, and I can only think of one word to describe this CD… AWESOME!

It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.

Passing Ships is a pleasantly varied, mix of 7 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

I give Passing Ships my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.

While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 – Passing Ships, track 5 – The Brown Queen, and track 7 – Yesterday’s Tomorrow.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [. . . as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Sideways. Good stuff!

The exceptionally talented Jazz artist Andrew Hill has released him CD entitled Dance With Death. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Andrew Hill fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Dance With Death Andrew Hill’s artistic excellence is on full display as Hill has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Dance With Death. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Jazz isn’t your favorite genre you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

Overall Dance With Death is a solid release. Quite possibly Andrew Hill’s best to date. Really sensational from beginning to end. If you’re even mildly into Jazz music you’ll enjoy this album.

While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 4 – Dance With Death, track 5 – Love Nocturne, and track 7 – Dance With Death.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [. . . as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Yellow Violet. Wow!
