Impressions is a live album by saxophonist Buck Hill which was recorded at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 1981 and released on the SteepleChase label.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "This particular LP, recorded at the same Northsea Jazz Festival that had already resulted in Easy to Love, features Hill in 1981 leading a quartet ... The solos of Hill and Brown are excellent if not overly memorable, and the results are pleasing and swinging while being a little explorative in spots".
