Lovably funky number from the ever-quirky Andrew Hill, a Chicago-born jazz pianist who bizarrely claimed to be born in Haiti. I have always appreciated Hill for his ability to bridge the gap between more 'out there' jazz and bop, a feat that I also admire in the work of Eric Dolphy. As a sideman, Hill has proven how talented he is as a composer for other artists, such as Bobby Hutcherson. Lee Morgan and Ron Carter round things out on this funky number, particularly Carter's walking bass.
