In the 1970s, he released the masterpiece "Open to Love," which perfectly captured Paul as a solo pianist with a rich imagination and creativity. Two years later, he released the sequel, the equally great "Alone Again." In this concert held after the release of this work, Paul was endlessly lyrical and cool. He dived deeper and deeper into the beautiful abyss of music than Bill Evans. Not a single note was wasted, and his sharp sensibility and inquisitiveness spun a story without interruption, making it an amazing performance. Andrew Hill released masterpieces at Blue Note from the 1960s to the 1970s, accompanied by important post-bop musicians such as Eric Dolphy, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, and Elvin Jones. Hill was influenced by Thelonious Monk, and as he himself says, the most important thing is individuality, and his performance is not easy to follow. This is truly the "magic of improvisational music." Listening to Hill's playing, you can immediately understand the meaning of improvisation. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime performance that promises a blissful time for jazz fans, capturing the excellent solo piano performances of Paul Bley and Andrew Hill, two rare improvisers, in the highest quality sound possible!
