Grassel gives "Compulsion" another chance
When the subject of Andrew Hill's 1966 "Compulsion" came up, Grassel told me he was disappointed by it and seemed unsurprised that Blue Note hadn't seen fit to reissue it. So, when that reissue did arrive on March 20, I sent a copy to Grassel, who vowed to give it another chance and share his thoughts.
