I'm Beginning to See the Light (Buck Hill album)

I'm Beginning to See the Light is an album by saxophonist Buck Hill, which was recorded in 1991 and released on the Muse label.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "A thick-toned tenor, Hill has a boppish style and looks both toward swing and hard bop simultaneously. Joined by a fine, if obscure, Washington-based rhythm section, Hill performs five of his originals and four standards on this date ... an excellent example of Hill's musical talents."
