Algunos comentarios  sobre Hill

The Jazz Expressions, led by Bassist Hilliard Greene, may  be the best supporting group currently backing a singer.
--Bob Blumenthal,  Boston Globe
 
As usual, Hill Greene created a resonating  musicality, with full focus and emotional pathos...Hill Greene has a bright  future as Solo Bassist, Composer, Accompanist, and Music Director.
--  Roberta Zlokower, RobertaOnTheArts.com

...An onslaught of rhythmic  accompaniment by Hill Greene...was loud, fast, and visceral. ...[His] work on  the upright bass was diverse and committed. On the funk grooves, generally  associated with the electric bass guitar, he was convincingly adept, wielding  the larger instrument with ease. His solos, whether arco or pizzicato, used  the full potential of the instrument, including choral effects and  contrivances.
--Richard Mayer, Green Mountain Jazz  Messenger
