Composition for two alto saxophones, recorded on Hemphill’s duo album with Oliver Lake, Buster Bee (1978). The score appears in Music Manuscript Notebook 4 (MMN4). A part for alto saxophone is Oliver Lake’s manuscript of saxophone parts for the recording session. The Julius Hemphill Papers also includes instrumental parts for an arrangement for alto saxophone, trumpet, cello, guitar, and bass. “Lady S” is the big-band arrangement of this work.
Found on: Buster Bee.
From Marty Ehrlich: Hemphill performed this work in several small-ensemble contexts, and the archive includes numerous instrumental parts. The parts do not all share the same chord changes; it would take some musicological work to bring them together to make a score.
