"Dedication" - Andrew Hill, Kenny Dorham, Eric Dolphy, Joe Henderson, Richard Davis, Tony Williams
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_Departure_(Andrew_Hill_album)
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek calls the album "a stellar date, essential for any representative jazz collection, and a record that, in the 21st century, still points the way to the future for jazz".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz gives the album a four-star rating plus a special "crown" accolade, and includes it as part of a selected "Core Collection."[4] . . . The sad aura of the piece was such that, after playing a section of said piece, Dorham teared up a bit.[6]
RIP Rob Reiner
