Archie Shepp

DIGIPACK EDITION

Metaphors of freedom, beauty in the face of conflict, and control on the edge of chaos, energize these distinctive recordings. The eloquence, and complexity, of these tones and moods, occasioned by Archie Shepp’s artistry and social conscience, make this music all the more compelling, then and now.
