A rare U.S. concert by an icon from the 1960s
free jazz era! Known for his collaborations
with New Thing avatars Cecil Taylor and John
Coltrane, Shepp refined an Afrocentric methodology on his classic albums Fire Music and
The Magic of Ju-Ju. Shepp combines a rigor-
ously intellectual improvisational approach
with a gruff, emotionally bracing sound, and
radical political thought.
In the ’60s, Archie Shepp was as radical and incisive a thinker as
he was a player, espousing Black Power and Afrocentric views in
music, drama, and poetry.
Personnel:
Archie Shepp (soprano and tenor saxophone,voice)
Tom McClung (piano),
Avery Sharpe (double bass),
TBD (drums)
