New World Records is excited to announce the release of Julius Hemphill: DOGON A.D. on compact disc.
Meticulously remastered, the package includes a 28-page booklet with new notes by Marty Ehrlich, complemented by several stills [presented here against an excerpt from the recording] from a 30-minute film of an early ’70s dance performance featuring complete performances of Dogon A.D. and Rites with Hemphill, Baikida Carroll, Phillip Wilson, and John Hicks.
This, at long last, is the definitive edition of this seminal jazz masterwork.
