Out March 6 - Julius Hemphill “Dogan A.D.” LP from Superior Viaduct.
Debut album from saxophonist Julius Hemphill, originally released in 1972 on his own Mbari imprint. Featuring cellist Abdul Wadud, trumpeter Baikida Carroll and drummer Phillip Wilson. Liner notes by John Corbett.
Point of No Return is the debut album by the jazz group the World Saxophone Quartet released on the Moers Music label in 1977.
The album features a live performance by alto saxophonists Julius Hemphill and Oliver Lake, tenor saxophonist David Murray and baritone saxophonist Hamiett Bluiett. It was recorded at the 6th International New Jazz Festival in Moers in June 1977.
Writer Gary Giddins commented: "little on... Point of No Return suggested serious absorption in exploring the potential of a renegade sax section (Murray's hurly-burly 'Scared Sheetless' pointedly fills most of the play time), and that little bit was by Hemphill, who always preferred group conception to workaday nightly improvisation." - Wikipedia
