The Boyé Multi-National Crusade for Harmony

The Boyé Multi-National Crusade for Harmony is a seven-disc box set album of music by saxophonist and composer Julius Hemphill.

"[4] DownBeat's Peter Margasak stated that the album "goes a long way in filling out the complex story of this multifaceted artist whose breadth and vision were seriously short-changed by the recording industry," and praised the "astonishing small-group work" heard on many of the tracks.

Beautiful, often see-sawing, compositions draw together, and stack and balance, long meaningful lines that can flip from horizontal to vertical, from flat out to a full stop, and back.

"[8] Writing for Point of Departure, Bill Shoemaker commented: "Throughout his life and for years after, there was the sense that we had only seen the tip of the iceberg, that there was so much more to Hemphill's music that went unheard.

"[11] Seth Colter Walls of The New York Times noted that the album "showcases Julius Hemphill's work as a composer, saxophonist and flutist on the boundary between jazz and classical styles," and stated that the variety of music "show[s] how thoroughly he adapted and reinvigorated" his early influences.
