"Spectrum" is one of Andrew Hill's more challenging compositions, but a highlight from Point of Departure. Richard Davis, a legendary bassist I once met, shines here until Eric Dolphy's melancholic reassertion during a ballad-like solo, sounding a little like his breath-taking moments on George Russell's take on "Round Midnight." Kenny Dorham, however, does not quite fit in here but the music matches the song's title. Hill's versatility without losing his authenticity always impresses.
