Composition for flute, trumpet, cello, and percussion, recorded on Hemphill’s debut album Dogon A.D. (1972). The Julius Hemphill Papers includes parts for cello–in holograph and professionally copied, with annotations from the cellist–but no full score.
Found on: Dogon A.D., Dogon A.D. (2011 Reissue).
From Marty Ehrlich: This work is a tribute to the painter Oliver Jackson, who was a member of the Black Artist Group and a close artistic colleague of Hemphill. Hemphill’s solo introduction to the piece on the recording is another example of his unique and soulful creativity on the flute.
