He often found himself on the periphery of the jazz world, only properly recognized and honored in the late 1990s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotwithstanding his significance for modern jazz, much about Hill's life has been obscured by his exaggerations and outright lies. His fabulism has long frustrated attempts to piece together his background. Born in Chicago, he insisted for decades that he was a native of Haiti and consistently lied about his age. Some falsehoods-like his claim that he studied under Paul Hindemith-went undetected and persist even now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime Lines: The Life and Music of Andrew Hill\u003c\/i\u003e provides as full and accurate an account of Hill's life as possible, while also closely examining the music he created as a composer and performer. Featuring memories and insights from a long list of Hill's collaborators, peers, associates, students, and protégés, as well as subject matter experts, eyewitnesses, and journalists, this is the definitive account of one of the most perplexing, elusive, and endlessly inventive figures in modern jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMichael J.
