A really great 70s album from avant piano legend Andrew Hill - and a set that's a nice change from the majority of solo and trio material that he mostly recorded during the decade! This group has key work from Jimmy Vass on soprano, alto, and flute - a player we don't know at all, but who brings some soulful energy to the set in a really great way - almost bridging the spirit of Hill's late Blue Note classic Grass Roots with some of the more freewheeling material he was doing in other settings at the time. The rest of the group features superb rhythm from Leroy Williams on drums and Chris White on bass - the latter of whom has all these rolling changes that really keep the album on rock-solid territory. The title cut - Divine Revelation - is a long piece, running for over 25 minutes, and going a bit out, but never too much - and other tracks include Snake Hip Waltz, July 10th, and East 9th Street.
