Jazz / Avant-Garde Jazz / Alto Saxophone
This historic LP includes a 20-minute performance with altoist Julius Hemphill, trumpeter Baikida Carroll, baritonist Hamiet Bluiett, cellist Abdul Wadud and drummer Philip Wilson ("The Hard Blues") taken from the same session that resulted in Dogon A.D. In addition, there are four briefer tracks that feature Hemphill, Bluiett, Wadud, altoist Arthur Blythe, drummer Barry Altschul and the congas of Daniel Zebulon. The music throughout is quite avant-garde but differs from the high-energy jams of the 1960s due to its emphasis on building improvisations as a logical outgrowth from advanced compositions. It's well worth several listens.
A big influence on many musicians, this recording catches Julius Hemphill at his best. The recording opens with "Reflections" - a mournful dirge of saxophne harmonies by Hemphill, future World Saxophone Quartet compadre Hamiet Bluiett, and future World Saxophone Quartet replacement Arthur Blythe. "Reflections" subtly morphs into "Lyric", a more strident pieces with saxophone improv, sparse percussion, and some soulful bowing and plucking from cellist Abdul Wadud before suddenly ending with a series of scorching multiphonics. Congas and drums set up the throbbing martial pace that drives the composition "Skin 1"; this work has also been recorded by Tim Berne's Bloodcount and Erik Friedlander's Topaz. This gives way to "Skin 2" a twisty groove of a number that would sound right at home on a WSQ recording. The main work "The Hard Blues" was re-recorded by the Julius Hemphill Sextet on his release "Fat Man and the Hard Blues". Heard here in its original version it sounds more bluesy, more loose. Starting with Abdul Wadud playing the opening riff on cello the work unfolds over the next 20 minutes with ample soloing by Hemphill and Baikida Carroll; Hamiet Bluiett doesn't get to solo on this one but his baritone sax adds a lot of color to the piece. A great example of the avant garde music of the 1970's loft scene.
