“One of the most serious, probing personalities in the world of modern jazz.” – Leonard Feather
“His music changed my life, repeatedly, starting in the early 1990s. Every time I heard him live, I would find my usual sense of time and space overridden or intensely altered.” – Vijay Iyer

More than twenty years after the original release of legendary jazz pianist and composer Andrew Hill’s 2002 live big band recording A Beautiful Day, Palmetto Records founder Matt Balitsaris felt compelled to revisit the original recordings. The music, featuring the Andrew Hill Sextet Plus Ten, was so strong that he decided to use advances in recording technology to touch up these old masters and reissue the album, with a fresh remaster, extended edit of one track and a previously unreleased bonus track.
