I have this one but wanted to say what a great record. "Things have got to change...god dammit!"

They don't get any more direct than that!

Thank you.

Yes, fantastic. Used to have the lp. Must be due for a reissue? Better than some of the other Shepp Verve have put out.

Oh yes! One of Shepp's best albums from this period, half-way between the free jazz and the straighter jazz of later years...Always loved Joe Lee Wilson's vocals. You don't happen to have the live album made by Archie Shepp's Attica Blues Big Band, do you? (Live at les Palace des Glaces, I think it's called). I've been trying to trakc it down for ages, but to no avail.

taro nombei said...

archie shepp... alright! last time i saw him (jsut a couple of years back) he was still blowing a mighty horn. so, that's something that didn't need to change.
many thanks indeed.

Very good one... I have it on vinyl.

-> to david_grundy : I own a LP copy of the Attica Blues Big Band at the Palais des Glaces as well as several other rare european recordings of Archie Shepp and others. I would be glad to share but I have not much time to record the vinyls in mp3 format at the moment.

Many thanks to Vesper for sharing
