Florida-born saxophonist, composer, poet, actor and playwright, Archie Shepp was one of the exponents of politicized black culture in the late '60s, a time of enormous upheaval and radical thought. Relocating to Paris he made a number albums, such as Blase, that broached the essential themes of freedom and racial equality, and tapped into the bedrock of African-American music.
Gospel and blues were a major part of the work, which also had a strong avant-garde sensibility. Trailbraizing artists who combined jazz, poetry and radical politics makes a definitive musical statement with a band featuring vocalist Jeanne Lee and members of Art Ensemble Of Chicago. This remastered version of a seminal album still has great musical and emotional power.
Recorded at "Studio Davout", August 16, 1969, Paris.
