Reviews

G. Filtgen in FonoForum 10/02: "Another highlight of his career. On this recording, recorded live with a big band in Birdland, New York, the turbulent actions of the turbulent actions of saxophonists such as Greg Tardy and Aaron Stewart in "Divine Revelation" stand for the vitality of contemporary jazz. Folkloristic impressions, unusual hard bop and abstract associations: Andrew Hill's sound contains the wealth of experience of a contemporary witness from the centers of African-American music."

"Far from being a chaotic affair, A Beautiful Day, Revisited's beauty stems from Hill's exquisite compositional flair, his gorgeous melodies, his decidedly non-traditional ensemble passages (conducted by Horton in the role of musical director) and his mission of transformative interpretation." (Downbeat)
