Buck Hill – Scope (SteepleChase, 1979)

Buck Hill (ts); Kenny Barron (p); Buster Williams (b); Billy Hart (d)

Recorded on July 8, 1979

Buck Hill spent most of his life as a postal carrier in Washington, D.C.  Scope was his second album.  It's amazingly accomplished effort, and he's supported by an immaculate rhythm section.  

Both the tunes (all composed by Hill) and the playing are outstanding.

Hill's only other record from the 1970s is his debut, This Is Buck Hill, released on SteepleChase in 1978.
