1966 album on which Hill "turns in a dense, cerebral set of adventurous post-bop in the middle ground between hard bop and free jazz -- it isn't as loose and dissonant as free, but with its long, winding modal improvisations and hazy song structures, it's less accessible than bop. Also features Richard Davis, Eddie Khan and Roy Haynes. 2006 RVG remaster.

Disc has some marks, nothing serious.
