relyles Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Just finished my first listen through the entire box. Great investment in some fabulous music. While going through the discs I also listened to Dogon A.D. and now I am moving onto the the CAM box to relisten to the Black Saint Recordings. Decided tonight I will read the chapter on Hemphill in Bill Shoemaker's Jazz in the 1970s. Going for a complete Hemphill immersion experience.

JSngry Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Kinda surprised to hear Jack Wilkins on here, but probably shouldn't be...that guy seemed to be open for anything...and in a quartet of Jerome Harris (on electric bass) and Michael Carvin no less. This group came to play! As do they all, of course, but the Pleasant Surprise Factor continues to climb upward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pim Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thanks for talking me trough this music guys. This will ultimately get on my wishlist for sure. Though I’d probably have to explore some more Hemphill first I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all of the Hemphill/Wadud duo recordings that I have and this one is unique - different compositions than usual played extremely well. What are the duo records? I know of Live In New York (1976). Are there others that I have missed? On 29/01/2021 at 5:43 PM, John L said: Yes! Do you have Julius Hemphill's first album "The Collected Poem for Blind Lemon Jefferson?" More of the same Missed this one completely. I had thought his first was Dogon AD. I'm looking forward to it.

The small group stuff is essential, and the saxophone sextet stuff is damn near epochal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Modal Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Yeah, I have that box and this one is in it: Mood music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 just ordered; Julius has always been a big inspiration to me; particularly now as I try to prepare some comprehensive final project. I have never felt a musician's soul like his. It's just there in every breath. Just love the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of listening to the BS/SN box lately as well as to Dogon A.D., in anticipation of the new box set which doesn't seem to be very available in Europe yet.

Larry Kart Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I was particularly taken on Side 1 (just got my set yesterday) by Hemphill on tenor. What a voice he had on the horn, so speech-like, not only in term of vocalization but also in the sense that one almost hears actual speech. Reminds me in this of one of my favorite younger players, Keefe Jackson. I'll have to ask Keefe if he knows Hemphill on tenor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Response from Keefe: Apart from little bits here and there (ensemble passages in early WSQ, some parts of the Chile New York record) the only time (til now) that his tenor playing was on record was Flat-Out Jump Suite, where he doesn’t play alto at all. Maybe we should say ‘main example’ of his tenor playing. ...and I didn’t have to look that up, if that tells you anything You’re right about the words. I never spent much time transcribing his solos but listened over and over again to most of his records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
