Black Paladins

One of the essential albums of 70's creative jazz. The music of the late great saxophonist and composer Julius Hemphill presents a strong combination of Blues roots, free energy and bop complexity. Recorded in New York in 1977, Raw Materials and Residuals explodes like a face off between Hemphill's unique reeds Abdul Wadud's deep pizzicato and Don Moye's frantic drive.
