Raw Materials and Residuals is an album by jazz saxophonist Julius Hemphill featuring cellist Abdul Wadud and percussionist Don Moye recorded in 1977 for the Italian Black Saint label.

[1] The editors of AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, and reviewer Michael G. Nastos called it "One of the great titles in the modern jazz chronology... a landmark recording in the second wave avant-garde movement of the '70s".

[2] Writing for The New York Times, Robert Palmer stated that the album "marks a triumphant return to the sparseness of Dogon A.D., but because the saxophonist and Mr. Wadud have grown, the music is more varied and resourceful.

He commented: "The striking cover photo of a shaven-headed Hemphill, arms folded across his naked torso with his alto saxophone hanging pendular, connotes something precise, poised and physical.

The LP's five compositions present a svelte, sinewy, structured trio music that, as Hemphill puts it in his sleevenotes, 'progresses from vigour-to-reflection-to-vigour'.
