Half Past Autumn Suite is an album by jazz trumpeter Irvin Mayfield that was released in 2003 as a tribute to Gordon Parks, a photographer and pianist.
In 2000, Parks's photographs were given an exhibit at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The CD version of the album contained a CD-ROM with photos from the exhibition that could be downloaded, two videos of recording sessions, and an interview with Parks.[1]
Parks and Mayfield performed a duet on "Wind Song". Wynton Marsalis played trumpet on the song "Blue Dawn". His brother, Delfeayo, produced the album and made a guest appearance on trombone.
