Change is a studio album by American jazz pianist Andrew Hill featuring performances recorded in 1966 for the Blue Note label. The album had a complicated release history- it was originally scheduled for issuance in 1967 as BST 84233, but was held back from release until 1975, when the tracks appeared under Sam Rivers' name, as part of a double LP set called Involution, which combined them with tracks recorded under Rivers' leadership. The first release of this material under Hill's name did not occur until 1995 as part of the Mosaic box set The Complete Blue Note Andrew Hill Sessions (1963-66). The album features Hill with saxophonist Sam Rivers, bassist Walter Booker and drummer J.C. Moses performing six of his originals. In 2007, two alternate takes were added to the CD release. The shorter take of "Violence" was initially chosen as the master track for that piece.
