As a fellow Jersey City resident, I opted to do this interview in person since we lived a handful of blocks away from each other. After chat about our respective neighborhoods we got down to the business at hand, which was life and music from the perspective of a true jazz original. – Tad Hendrickson

JazzWeek: I saw the second night of your run at Birdland. How did the rest of it go? Andrew Hill: We had good audiences and packed houses. And the band played lovely, so I was really happy about that. I was really amazed at how we came together because we really hadn’t played in a while. Not since the recording, and I had taken oﬀ last year so before that. It got better and better each night. continued ... jazzweek.com • March 20, 2006 JazzWeek 10 Legend in Jazz: Andrew Hill (continued)

I was really impressed with Charles Tolliver on the record and at the show. I liked Greg Tardy, but I see more of him. I don’t see much of Tolliver even though he’s been around. He’s having a resurgence also, so you should be able to catch him more and more, especially with his big band. You say “resurgence too.” Do you feel like you’re going through a resurgence? My royalties have been most of my income for almost 10 years, so I can’t call it a true resurgence. But any time you come under the wing of a major label, it is a resurgence to the general audience because there is a certain type of visibility that wasn’t there before. It’s been amazing that I have been supported my whole career by the people. I’ve also dealt with honest and reputable business people – you hear so many horror stories of people fleecing musicians and leaving them to die in poverty and obscurity. I’ve always had a certain audience that has supported me, and if I continue to expand it I will be able to continue having a comfortable living. How did Palmetto work out? There are a lot of beautiful little companies out there that are great, but you don’t get paid. I came along at the right time and Palmetto spent some money on promotion for the first record and I got paid. It actually helped the Blue Note catalog even more. Palmetto allowed me to record a big band and a sextet and because of that I was able to become the second biggest seller on Mosaic [which reissued Blue Note titles]. One thing that struck me was when I saw the big band and there were so many young musicians in the band. I think that your sound of mixing bebop and avant-garde has become particularly influen- tial on today’s emerging players. Blue Note/EMI Group Michael Cuscuna (left) and Bruce Lundvall (right) I think that that is great because it means that younger musicians are flank Andrew Hill on the occasion of the pianist’s advancing. Four or five years ago there were a lot of musicians trying third signing with Blue Note last fall. to get their own sound, which may not have been traditionally valid. There was no one to have synergy with because they were just playing for themselves. Now they are using everything that came before them and making it fit together to shape their own music. It reminds me of the ’50s when there was Dixieland, bebop, swing and all of it. Not since the ’50s have young musicians integrated these different sounds and become aware of their audience. It’s not an isolated thing where a musician came out of nowhere to become a star playing their own thing. People use the word “genius” a lot when they describe your music. Even Al- fred Lion. Do you feel that is undue pressure on you? continued ... jazzweek.com • March 20, 2006 JazzWeek 11 Legend in Jazz: Andrew Hill (continued)

I love to be appreciated, but for me to buy into it is to buy into their own promotion. I’m happy for the nice things he said, but it’s not enough to give one the nourishment we need to participate in real life. It a nice compliment from someone who has been involved in so much music. He was a wonderful man. I didn’t know anything about foundations at the time I first recorded with him. He took the pressures of the business off me to such an extant that I didn’t have to run up and down the road with these bands to make money. It was very generous of him. You were out west for a while and then came back east. My wife was in the Dance Department at Portland State and they closed it down. She ended up getting a job at the Joyce Theater [in New York City], so to stay married I moved back east. The people were, and still are, very generous when I came back. I did Alice Tully Hall and performed in all the museums. It must have felt good to be welcomed back. It felt great, but no one invited me back. [Laughs] I really didn’t expect this type of generosity. What did you think of Time Lines? I like it. It accomplished what we wanted to do. I wouldn’t say that a lot of times I would want to play fur- ther out, sometimes you are so into yourself that it has nothing to do with the music for the people. I like the fact that it is listener friendly, but it still has a certain quality that is my sound. You were quite deferential to your band the other night. You didn’t do the lion’s share of the soloing yourself. A band can only play good when it is empowered. And by empowering them, it will only make your music stronger. Also, I don’t just call anyone to play with me. I called them because I like the way they played. Your sound is fairly unusual. Do you have difficulty in finding musicians to play with you? Not now. Almost anyone I call seems to want to play. This comes after a little talk where I find out if they love music, because a lot of musicians don’t love music. They are good players who like the convenience that it may bring mon- etarily. If they love the music, they have a love of the now. I’m more interested

I like being an example for the young players. You can show them that you don’t just have to scrounge around to make a living. I like to be an example where you don’t have to play commercial music – you can play creative music and still lead a wholesome life. “Wholesome life” – that’s an interesting way of thinking about the jazz life. Six or seven years ago the music seemed too intellectual and there was lot of players on the Lower East Side. I figure a person has the right to live the way they want to. But to be an artist – after you get past the needle fight – you have to be a part of society and function in it. If they are playing their music hon- estly and openly for the people, the people will support them. Is it sweeter to be playing at this point in your life? I can’t really say. Once you’re involved in any process, you’re not judgmental about it. It’s just a way of life until it’s over with. Then you may say that it was whatever it was. It may have been just a way of getting from point A to point B. I can say that I wake up and do whatever it takes to get through the day. You can cry your heart out or be active.
