Julius Hemphill – Coon Bid’ness (1975)

Coon Bid’ness is an album released by Julius Hemphill in 1975 on Arista featuring performances by Hemphill, Baikida Carroll, Abdul Wadud, Phillip Wilson, Arthur Blythe, Barry Altschul and Daniel Zebulon. The final track, “The Hard Blues,” was recorded at the same recording session as Hemphill’s debut album Dogon A.D.. After Hemphill’s death in 1995, Freedom Records re-released the album as a CD under the name Reflections.

Regarding the album title, Hemphill recalled: “This was ’75, and the title is a reference to minstrel shows. That’s a reference to music and an era in which blacks had flowered a little bit. They used to call them coon shows, and stuff. And so I was just getting in some bicentennial licks.”

In 2011, writer Greg Tate and musician LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs launched a print on demand magazine titled Coon Bidness, named after the Hemphill album.
