Release date: 6 March 2026
One of the boldest statements in the Andrew Hill discography, 1965's "Compulsion!!!!!" was the pianist's expression of the avant-garde through the prism of jazz music's roots in African rhythms. Hill's percussive piano drives an intrepid ensemble through four evocative originals—"Compulsion," "Legacy," "Premonition," and "Limbo"—given deeply engaged performances by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, saxophonist John Gilmore, bassists Cecil McBee and Richard Davis, drummer Joe Chambers, and percussionists Nedi Qamar and Renaud Simmons.
BLUE NOTE TONE POET EDITION: Stereo, produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analogue master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a gatefold sleeve with deluxe tip-on jacket.
