Andrew Hill (June 30, 1931[1] – April 20, 2007) was an American jazz pianist and composer.
Jazz critic John Fordham described Hill as a "uniquely gifted composer, pianist and educator" although "his status remained largely inside knowledge in the jazz world for most of his career."[2]
Hill recorded for Blue Note Records for nearly a decade, producing a dozen albums.
