▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Hemphill was best known for his work with the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ World Saxophone Quartet ù he was arguably the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ band's most distinctive writer ù but his work as an ▓▌
▓████▓▌ improvising saxophonist and composer encompassed a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ variety of other contexts over the course of his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ career. Hemphill worked with everything from big ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bands to duos; he especially excelled at composing ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for unusual instrumental combinations. Hemphill's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ primary instrument was the alto; he had a huge, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ somewhat harsh tone, almost as if he were playing a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ horn made out of a steel pipe with a sax mouthpiece ▓▌
▓████▓▌ attached. He possessed a formidable technique and a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fertile imagination. The latter probably best ▓▌
▓████▓▌ manifested itself in his compositions, in which he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ merged his jazz roots with European classical and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ African influences. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hemphill's first instrument was the clarinet. He ▓▌
▓████▓▌ played bari saxophone in high school; purportedly, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ he fostered a musical infatuation with Gerry ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Mulligan. In Fort Worth, he studied with the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ renowned jazz clarinetist John Carter and played ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with local rhythm & blues bands. Hemphill joined ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the army in 1964. Upon his discharge, he played for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a time with Ike Turner, then moved to St. Louis in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1968. There he became involved with the Black ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Artists Group, a new music collective that also ▓▌
▓████▓▌ included Oliver Lake, Hamiet Bluiett, Joseph Bowie, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and Baikida Carroll, among others. Hemphill formed ▓▌
▓████▓▌ his own record company, Mbari, to document his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music. His '70s Mbari releases, Dogon A.D. and Blue ▓▌
▓████▓▌ BoyΘ, proved to be quite influential, affecting the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ later work of such disparate artists as Dave ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Sanborn and Tim Berne. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hemphill moved to New York in the mid-'70s. There ▓▌
▓████▓▌ he became active in loft sessions and recorded as a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sideman with Anthony Braxton and Lester Bowie. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Around this time, he also recorded for the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Arista/Freedom label. In 1976, he formed the World ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Saxophone Quartet with Lake, Bluiett, and David ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Murray, which would prove to be the most ▓▌
▓████▓▌ commercially successful and long-lasting of his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ performing units. In the '70s and '80s, Hemphill ▓▌
▓████▓▌ played and recorded fairly often for several ▓▌
▓████▓▌ labels, almost always under his own leadership. His ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1980 album, Flat Out Jump Suite (Black Saint), with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ cellist Abdul Wadud, cornetist Olu Dara, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ percussionist Warren Smith, was critically praised, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as was his concurrent work with the WSQ. In the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ late '80s, Hemphill and the WSQ began an ▓▌
▓████▓▌ association with the Elektra label, which led to a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ number of well-distributed and aesthetically ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rewarding albums. In 1988, Hemphill got his one and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ only chance to record his big band compositions, on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the album Julius Hemphill Big Band ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (Elektra/Musician). ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hemphill left the WSQ in the early '90s, thus ▓▌
▓████▓▌ weakening the ensemble from a conceptual ▓▌
▓████▓▌ standpoint. He went on to form his own all-sax ▓▌
▓████▓▌ group ù a sextet ù which included such players as ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Marty Ehrlich, Andrew White, and a young James ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Carter. The band made a pair of albums: Fat Man and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Hard Blues, recorded in 1991, and Five Chord ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Stud, recorded in 1993. Hemphill's presence on the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ latter was as a composer only; a worsening medical ▓▌
▓████▓▌ condition had by this time forced him to stop ▓▌
▓████▓▌ playing. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hemphill also had a strong interest in theatre. He ▓▌
▓████▓▌ incorporated theatrical elements into his 1977 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ album Roi BoyΘ and the Gotham Minstrels and in the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ '80s he composed an extended work entitled Long ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Tongues, which he called "a saxophone opera." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hemphill's death in 1995 prematurely curtailed the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ career of one of free jazz's most visionary ▓▌
▓████▓▌ composers." (in allmusic.com by Chris Kelsey) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The Hard Blues, Live in Lisbon was recorded in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ August, 2003 and it's the latest recording by The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Julius Hemphill Sextet. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Enjoy and have a very good 2005 ! ▓▌
