Live in New York is a live album by saxophonist Julius Hemphill and cellist Abdul Wadud. Featuring four Hemphill compositions, it was recorded at La MaMa in New York City, on May 28, 1976, and was released by the Italian label Red Records in 1978.[1] [2] [3] [4]
In a review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy wrote: "The setting lets Hemphill stretch, his country and blues roots in full bloom. His poignant sound was never more compelling, and Wadud was a bracing partner whose emotional depth and extraordinary technique are unequaled on the instrument."
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings stated that the four compositions "offer the best introduction to Hemphill the composer, even in the context of the most basic personnel. Virtually all the later things... stem from this."
Composed by Julius Hemphill.
