Billy Strayhorn composition, arranged by Hemphill for saxophone quartet (two alto, tenor, and baritone). It was recorded by the World Saxophone Quartet on the album Plays Duke Ellington (1986). Hemphill also arranged this piece for saxophone sextet and included it in the dance performance “Last Supper at Uncle Tom’s Cabin / The Promised Land.” The archive includes a holograph score and professionally copied parts in manuscript.
Found on: Plays Duke Ellington.
From Marty Ehrlich: Hemphill’s 44-measure arrangement is in AABBAA form.
