The prestigious Danish Jazzpar Prize for 2003 was awarded to Andrew Hill, and this album of new compositions was written by him especially for the presentation evening and a preceding tour of Sweden & Denmark, during which these tracks were recorded.

This is wonderful but uncompromising music : meandering and labyrinthine melodies, full of emotional power, mixed with unusual harmonic structures and a strong rhythmic energy - all underpinned by Hill's subtle, angular piano style - showing touches of Monk & Cecil Taylor. The high class, mainly Scandinavian octet features Thomas Agergaard on tenor sax and guest Americans Scott Colley and Nasheet Waits.

The Jazzpar Prize is the largest annual jazz award in the World. Previous winners include Lee Konitz, Martial Solal, David Murray, Django Bates, Geri Allen, Tony Coe, Roy Haynes, etc.
