The avant-garde gets the blues: raucous music rooted in country soil
-
We Say...
Before guiding the original World Saxophone Quartet, saxophonist Julius Hemphill had forged another classic partnership, with pioneering cello improviser Abdul Wadud, who'd make his axe gallop like a baby bass, sing like a horn, or skronk like Muddy Waters' guitar. On 1977's stripped-down trio blowout Raw Materials and Residuals, Wadud's gritty pluck-and-saw perfectly matches Julius's sand-dry/blues-drenched alto, and the airy and punchy percussion of the Art Ensemble of Chicago's Famoudou Don Moye. Hemphill's tunes catch the flavor of the carnival ("C"), the West African savannah ("G Song") and vast spaces between: wild, raucous music rooted in country soil.
