Hillmen
Blue Mountain Session
Review by Gary Hill
Here’s an intriguing disc of instrumental music. While I’ve put it under the progressive rock category, it would also fit as jam band music and possibly even jazz. Certainly all three styles are represented here. Of course, the fact that Djam Karet’s Gayle Ellett is part of the band would land them in our progressive rock section, anyway. Assembling a disc of purely instrumental music that works can be tough. These guys have pulled it off nicely in that this never seems to drag or repeat itself. It’s a good disc that should please most fans of instrumental music.
