First of all a saxophonist, but also a pianist and singer, Archie Shepp is one of the most influential musicians of his generation, not only because of his musical concepts that are always at the avant-garde, but also for his more often than not marginal political ideals. Archie Shepp possesses a massive saxophone sonority, inhabited by savage flights fraught with liberty. This venerable artist is surrounded by seasoned musicians ready to launch into violent improvisations at the master's signal. Archie Shepp represents what is most honest in jazz, and transforms his social opinions into lurious musical interprétations.
