Julius Hemphill : Composer

Ear

August 6, 2018 by Editor

The first track on the Julius Hemphill Quartet’s album Flat-Out Jump Suite (1980). 

From Marty Ehrlich: Although Hemphill was a prodigious composer of notated music, he chose at times to do an open improvisation with his colleagues on a given recording. In this case, Hemphill added titles to the improvised pieces: “Ear,” “Mind (1st part),” “Mind (2nd part)” and “Heart.” The piece Hemphill titled “Body” on this recording was a notated composition originally titled “Flat-Out Jump Suite.” 

Found on: Flat-Out Jump Suite.
