In all, a great set of performances frequently marred by sloppy production, making this just slightly less enjoyable than other Hill recordings from the same time period. Haynes was spectacularly effective on Black Fire. That is one of the main difficulties for a listener approaching this album for the first time. Here Haynes uses a bit too much space in his drumming, and he is so loud in the mix that this tends to obscure the main themes. In that respect it is more interesting to compare Hill with Albert Ayler or Cecil Taylor than more traditional post-bop players or the previous generation of jazz composers. A hallmark of Hill as a composer is, despite complex structures and arrangements, a strong dominant theme running through his songs. To further complicate matters, Haynes seems just a bit ill at ease here. However, Davis is sometimes buried in the mix, and cannot clearly be heard over Hill and drummer Roy Haynes on “Smoke Stack” and other cuts. On songs like “Wailing Wail”, “Not So”, “The Day After” and “Verne”, the effect is spectacular, providing deep shading to Hill’s typically intriguing compositions.
