Time wrote: "It's a well-worn jazz riff: superb player, been around forever but known mostly to musicians and insiders. Andrew Hill almost fit the bill. Over his 50-year career, he was lauded as a groundbreaking pianist and composer. And yet he was often overlooked by mainstream audiences, which focused on contemporaries like Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and Coleman Hawkins. But Hill refused to fade. His 2006 album, Time Lines, earned him album-of-the-year honors from Down Beat magazine. Hill, who performed just three weeks before his death, was 75" ("Milestones: Died," 5/7/07).
