Jessica Williams and Andrew Hill

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Alyn Shipton talks to two very different American pianists and introduces excerpts from concerts they gave at London's South Bank. Jessica Williams
played mainly standards like Cheek to Cheek and Willow
Weep for Me in her solo set, whereas Andrew Hill was joined by bass player Reggie Workman and drummer
Pheeroan AkLaff and concentrated on originals. US critic
David H Rosenthal wrote of Hill: "His rhapsodic, brooding compositions and solos are instantly recognisable, bearing the fingerprint of a unique sensibility." Producer Derek Drescher
