Requiem for Julius is an album by the jazz group the World Saxophone Quartet released by the Justin Time label.
The album features performances by Hamiet Bluiett, John Purcell, Oliver Lake and David Murray and is dedicated to the band's founding member Julius Hemphill.
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos stated: "A long-overdue official farewell for Hemphill, Requiem for Julius not only harkens back to the sound of WSQ's initial recordings, but indicates that they have plenty of original music left in the tank.
"[2] All About Jazz's Glenn Astarita commented: "Requiem For Julius is a truly exceptional homage to the late great saxophonist/composer... a durable, multidimensional, fervent and altogether superfine recollection of the late great Julius Hemphill and undoubtedly one of the finest WSQ recordings in recent years.
"[3] Another AAJ reviewer stated: "The quartet... invokes its remarkable ability to trade off between tight arrangements and free improvisation.
