Mixed by Marc Urselli at East Side Sound, New York, NY

Pressed at Gotta Groove Records

Gatefold jacket

There's something determined — almost stubborn — in Andrew Hill's music. A declaration in every note. Andrew's music is not unvarnished or raw, it's more unbending.

This two-disc set (Newvelle's first ever!) from trumpet and flugelhorn master Ron Horton honors the music of the late Hill and features a world-class sextet of Hill devotees and collaborators, including the late Frank Kimbrough on piano, Marty Ehrlich and John O'Gallagher, who split alto sax duties, Marc Mommaas on tenor, Dean Johnson on bass, and Tim Horner on drums.

A Prayer for Andrew presents powerful interpretations of Hill's arrangements as well as original works from Horton paying homage to his friend and bandmate.

Musicians:
Ron Horton, trumpet, flugelhorn
Marty Ehrlich, alto saxophone, bass clarinet (on "A Prayer for Andrew" "Dusk" "ML" "Tough Love" and Belleza #1)
John O'Gallagher, alto saxophone (on all others)
Marc Mommaas, tenor saxophone
Frank Kimbrough, piano
Dean Johnson, bass
Tim Horner, drums
