| Passing Ships is the latest release from Jazz | | | | Tomorrow. |
| Superstar Andrew Hill, and I can only think of one word | | | | My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in |
| to describe this CD... AWESOME! | | | | "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Sideways. Good stuff! |
| It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist | | | | Passing Ships Release Notes: |
| that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in | | | | Andrew Hill originally released Passing Ships on |
| the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's | | | | October 7, 2003 on the Blue Note Records label. |
| exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is | | | | CD Track List Follows: |
| NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with | | | | 1. Sideways |
| each song standing tall on it's own. | | | | 2. Passing Ships |
| Passing Ships is a pleasantly varied, mix of 7 tracks | | | | 3. Plantation Bag |
| that are very well written songs by this clearly superb | | | | 4. Noon Tide |
| artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind | | | | 5. The Brown Queen |
| emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly | | | | 6. Cascade |
| drawing from what I can only imagine are him own | | | | 7. Yesterday's Tomorrow |
| personal experiences. At different points touching on | | | | Personnel: Andrew Hill (piano); Joe Farrell (soprano |
| the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed | | | | & tenor saxophone, alto flute, bass clarinet, English |
| relationships and unattainable romance. They're all here. | | | | horn); Woody Shaw, Dizzy Reece (trumpet); Bob |
| I give Passing Ships my highest recommendation. It just | | | | Northern (French horn); Julian Priester (trombone); |
| plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection | | | | Howard Johnson (tuba, bass clarinet); Ron Carter |
| regardless of genre preference. | | | | (bass); Lenny White (drums). |
| While the entire album is really very good the truly | | | | Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, |
| standout tunes are track 2 - Passing Ships, track 5 - | | | | New Jersey on November 7, 1969. Includes liner notes |
| The Brown Queen, and track 7 - Yesterday's | | | | by Michael Cuscuna. |
