Contemporary and Classic Jazz, R&B, Chicago House, Neo-Soul—to Hill, they’re all essential elements of the profound African-American creative heritage he’s a part of. “It all comes from the same tree,” he says. “They simply blossomed from different branches.”

It’s integral to ‘The Way We Play’, his Concord Jazz debut from 2016, where Hill and his musicians reinvent jazz standards using their generation’s wide- ranging influences. It marks the four records Hill self-released before November of 2014, when he won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition and became a presence on the global scene virtually overnight. And it defines the revelatory live dates by Hill’s longtime working group which the Chicago Tribune called “a remarkably polished, immensely attractive ensemble.”
