Hemphill is brilliant as always. So, back in maybe '91 or '92, JH did the score for a work by dancer Bill T. Jones. Last Supper At Uncle Tom's Cabin/The Promised Land was the name of it. Does anybody know if by chance there is a way to get that score? There's no official release, but maybe someone here has seen something? In a documentary I'd seen about Jones, the score is heard in the background.

Thanks again for this bountiful harvest. These are all the records you'd only see once in music shops (if you saw them at all). This brings back fond memories and great expectations. Your hard work is not unappreciated.

Thanks again for all the great music you guys post here, Hemphill's Big Band album is another in the long line of neglected delights, therefore i am looking forward to hearing this offering.
