Description
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 rigorously 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.More Info
