Andrew Hill - Smoke Stack LP

Smoke Stack is a landmark jazz album by American pianist and composer Andrew Hill, originally recorded for Blue Note and released in 1966. The album showcases Hill's distinctive approach to post-bop, combining complex compositions, adventurous harmonies and an expressive, highly individual piano style.

Hill is joined by Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, Richard Davis on bass and Roy Haynes on drums, creating a dynamic quartet capable of moving between intricate passages, rhythmic intensity and more spacious improvisation.

Featuring compositions including “Smoke Stack,” “The Day After,” “Wailing Wall,” “Osmosis” and “Dust,” the album demonstrates why Andrew Hill became one of the most respected and innovative composers in modern jazz.
