Julius Hemphill : Composer

OK Rubberband

August 9, 2018 by Editor

Composition for soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, and flute, recorded by Hemphill via overdubbing as the third track on the album Blue Boyé (1977). The score appears in Music Manuscript Notebook 1 (MMN1), where it bears the title “Third.” The eight compositions that became the album Blue Boyé are similarly numbered in this notebook and given different titles on the recording.

Found on: Blue Boyé.

From Marty Ehrlich: On the recording, Hemphill adds a fourth part to the two saxophones and flute, doing “hambone” as the rhythm section, if you will.
