		Shepp is not standing in a relaxed way, he seems ungainly, makes for his chair real slow as if he were 10 years older.
		Shepp plays along with her whenever she is singing, he leaves her little space, his lines are not those of mutual love.
		Archie reacts, a beady glance and he sounds into the piano space from the middle 8 bars giving the last 16 bars to the fine bassist.

		But in the '70s, Shepp employed a fatback/swing-based R&B approach, and in the '80s he mixed straight bebop, ballads, and blues pieces displaying little of the fury and fire from his earlier days.
		Shepp turned to academia in the late '60s, teaching at SUNY in Buffalo, then the University of Massachusetts.
		Shepp toured and recorded extensively in Europe during the '80s, cutting some fine albums with Horace Parlan, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, and Jasper van't Hof.

	Amazon.com: Four for Trane: Music: Archie Shepp (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Archie Shepp's first major outing was recorded in August 1964 about a year before John Coltrane gathered some of these same players (Shepp and alto saxophonist John Tchicai) in the studio for the recording of Ascension, which would launch the final phase of his career, represented excellently on the two-CD Major Works collection.
		Shepps playing here is brilliant; his tone isn't so big and dramatic (or as brutal)as it became on later albums, instead he focuses on raw, very bluesy, short, broken phrases with a saxophone sound not so different from the swing-players of the 30's like Ben Webster.
		Archie Shepp is more famously known for his Fire Music (Impulse!, 1965), his avant-garde antics at the Village Vanguard in the mid-1960s and for his work with Cotrane in the same period, than for Four For Trane, his first recording on the Impulse!

		Archie Shepp has been at various times a feared firebrand and radical, soulful throwback and contemplative veteran.
		But in the '70s, Shepp employed a fatback/swing-based RandB approach, and in the '80s he mixed straight bebop, ballads and blues pieces displaying little of the fury and fire from his earlier days.
		Shepp toured and recorded extensively in Europe during the '80s, cutting some fine albums with Horace Parlan, Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and Jasper van't Hof.

	Archie Shepp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He is best known for his passionately Afrocentric music of the late sixties which focused on highlighting the injustices faced by the African race, as well as for his work with the New York Contemporary Five and his collaborations with his "New Thing" contemporaries, most notably Cecil Taylor and John Coltrane.
		Shepp appeared on Air, The World Of Cecil Taylor and Cell Walk For Celeste, all of which remain defining Taylor recordings.
		At this time, many African-American jazzmen were becoming increasingly aware of Afrocentrism and the musical traditions of the African continent; along with Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp was at the forefront of this movement.

	ARCHIE SHEPP QUARTET, PART 1 recommended cd collection, cd review and cd details.
		TDK continue their much lauded series of jazz issues with another truly great figure of the 1960s jazz movement, Archie Shepp, described by the legendary jazz pianist Mal Waldron as "one of the truly great saxophonists of our time".
		Archie Shepp was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on May 24th, 1937.
		Evolving his own unique musical style incorporating - often unintentional - squeaks and grunts, Shepp was at the forefront of jazz's 'Avant Garde' movement in the sixties, and although his music often has a strongly political bent, it is less abstract than that of his contemporaries (he described himself as "a sentimentalist, not a romantic").

	Amazon.ca: Four For Trane: Music: Archie Shepp (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Shepp's recording was a reverential interpretation of four Coltrane compositions with one Shepp original.
		Archie Shepp interprets four of Coltrane's compositions from his Atlantic period, brilliantly arranging and reconfiguring them for a masterful four-piece horn section: Shepp on tenor, John Tchicai on alto, the obscure but talented Alan Shorter (older brother of Wayne) on trumpet, and Roswell Rudd on trombone.
		Shepp's playing here is some of his best, with his Ben Webster-through-a-kaleidoscope approach really emerging to lead the ensemble.

	Tenorman Archie Shepp
		Tenorman Archie Shepp was born in Florida, 1937, and made his earliest recordings with Cecil Taylor (Air and Into The Bot) sounding at that time, 1960, like an amalgam of Rollins and Coltrane.
		Recent Shepp re-leases from Europe reveal him to be in great form, and his current group, Charles Greenlea trombone, Dave Burrell piano, Cameron Brown bass and the habitual Beaver Harris on drums, played a magnificent set at the Massy Festival (Shepp A Massy).
		Archie Shepp's piano playing is interesting, his soprano leaner than his tenor, which remains one of the most commanding sounds in jazz.

	Archie Shepp - The Impulse Story - Impulse! Records
		Shepp also provided listeners with the gift of allowing us to hear and appreciate under-recorded and under-recognized masters such as Ted Curson, Marion Brown, Roswell Rudd and others who might have achieved their deserved greater acclaim with more sessions.
		Archie Shepp's greatest contribution to jazz will probably remain his political and social material, along with his penchant for never standing still during his Impulse years.
		That Shepp could so fully capture the "state of Black America"and meld modern music with jazz and modern society in one track is a testament to his greatness.

	Conversations : Archie Shepp w/Kahil El'Zabar's Ritual Trio : CD Reviews : One Final Note
		Part of playing the blues is paying your dues and even a cursory glance at Archie Shepp's discography reveals a man who has definitely done his time in the jazz trenches.
		Shepp fits right in too and the four converge on a program of originals with the uniform theme of bassist Fred Hopkins' life and recent passing in mind.
		Shepp's raspy tenor has rarely sounded so elegiac as atop the gentle fragility conjured by the Trio's rhythmic support as the piece builds into a fitting eulogy.

	Archie Shepp Quartet
		Archie Shepp is a highly versatile performer, one who scats and croons, belts out his saxophone, and woos his fans with personal and inspirational comments.
		Archie used drama and passion, as the song built momentum, with Charles' drums and Leon Lee Dorsey's bass.
		Charles' drums were smooth, and Archie ended the ballad with a repeat of vocals and melancholia.

	The Austin Chronicle Music: Review - Archie Shepp
		Many are perfectly comfortable marching down memory lane, locked in Ellingtonian half step, but the upheaval of the Sixties pulled jazz along for the ride, and a handful of avant-gardist torchbearers blazed trails the world has all but forgotten.
		Shepp's like-minded trio takes brilliant turns, Richard Davis' walking bass often the saxophonist's sole accompaniment.
		Shepp rises above his rhythm section's challenge; his tone sounds more vibrant and pointed than it has in years.

		En 1972, date du présent enregistrement, Archie Shepp a largué les amarres qui ancraient encore essentiellement son discours dans le jazz (et le blues, le gospel, etc.), aussi free fusse-t-il, pour, à l'instar de Miles Davis, confronter son art avec l'électricité alors en vogue.
		Attica Blues, tenor saxophonist Archie Shepp's response to the Attica uprising, is a much more sobering retort than one would expect from the 1960's firebrand.

	Archie Shepp/Siegfried Kessler \| First Take
		Shepp never pushes and Kessler never insists, resulting in an intricate, musical dance of subtleties and niceties.
		The closing number, Shepp's “Ujaama,” deviates from the album's other songs by actually preserving its inherent, tight, straightahead groove.
		Personnel: Archie Shepp: tenor sax, vocals; Siegfried Kessler: piano.

		Between 1964 and 1968 Archie Shepp released a string of albums on Impulse that helped define the free-jazz movement and push its musical and emotional boundaries.
		Staunchly political and dedicated to the principle of passionate expression, Shepp had a bold approach and a sometimes fierce, sometimes lyrical tenor attack that made his Impulse albums some of the most exciting of the era.

		Continuing with it's fine string of BYG vinyl reissues comes one of the many LPs recorded by Archie Shepp during his stay in France during 1969.
		Shepp's ideas here are solid with regard to the concepts he's dealing with, but the execution of those ideas leaves a lot to be desired.
		In view of the excellent Shepp Antibes' festival performance in '69, which was released by BYG as a 2-LP set, these recordings could've been discarded.

		In naming these traditions it must be said that part of the common ground is a highly critical view of those histories by both parties.
		Shepp has been perceptively critical of the Jazz context and it's implications for Afro American music.
