Hilliard Greene
Hilliard 'Hill' Greene is an extraordinary musician and composer. For the past fifteen years, he has served as bassist and musical director for the great Jimmy Scott and The Jazz Expressions. Notably, Hill has also played and recorded with Dave Douglas, Charles Gayle, Oliver Lake, Jack Walrath, and Kenny Barron. A rare bassist who not only exemplifies the art of swing through his masterful walking bass lines, Hill Greene also brings something entirely new and fresh to the instrument.
This unique recording of solo bass features original compositions by Hill, as well as songs by Ornette Coleman and Stanley Clarke. When you listen to Hill play solo, you could swear that two or three bassists are performing at the same time. Alone displays Hills remarkable force and technical skill, and is required listening for true bass aficionados.
