In the late 1960s, Blue Note was no longer the most adventurous of jazz labels. While certain titles managed to scrape through -- \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eEddie Gale's Ghetto Music\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e did but only because \u003c\/span\u003eFrancis Wollf\u003cspan\u003e personally financed it -- many didn't. The label was firmly in the soul-jazz groove by then, and Hill's music, always on the edge, was deemed too outside for the label's roster. Musically, this is Hill at his most visionary. From hard- and post bop frames come modal and tonal inquiries of staggering complexity. Accompanied by trumpeter \u003c\/span\u003eCharles Tolliver\u003cspan\u003e, saxophonist \u003c\/span\u003eJoe Farrell\u003cspan\u003e, drummer \u003c\/span\u003eBilly Higgins\u003cspan\u003e and bassist \u003c\/span\u003eVictor Sproles\u003cspan\u003e, Hill engages, seemingly, all of his muses at once. Check out the sinister modal blues that is \"Fish 'N' Rice\" with its loping Eastern-tinged blues and loping horn lines around Hill's knotty fills in the head and choruses. In \"Partitions\" the steaming head is so rigorously tangled it's only the counterpoint of Hill's piano that makes an exit possible, with deep blues underpinnings and strident swinging soul. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe title cut dances Afro-Cuban in the head, but Hill's piano is in a minor modal groove, with \u003c\/span\u003eHiggins\u003cspan\u003e playing a textural, syncopated four-four as \u003c\/span\u003eSproles\u003cspan\u003e' punches on the two and four as the solos begin winding through the modes, bringing back the blues on tags. Dance of Death is a phenomenal record, one that wears its adventure and authority well. — (via AllMusic)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3CzV93fhyD1tnCvyN4VUVr?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– B0034167-01,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– 73160,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– ST-73160,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue Note\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– BST 73160\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSeries:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eBlue Note Tone Poet Series\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eVinyl,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Album, Reissue, Stereo,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e180g, Gatefold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWorldwide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2023-03-03\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e3 Mar 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003ePost Bop,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAvant-garde Jazz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Blue Note Records (Tone Poet series)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42506653532318,"sku":"602438370764","price":70.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/ab67616d0000b2732704ef3bd067f66012f51ab8.jpg?v=1728627272","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/andrew-hill-dance-with-death-tone-poet-series","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
