DESCRIPTION:\nSaxophone player\, composer\, pianist\, singer\, politically 
 committed poet\, playwright\, Archie Shepp is a legend.\nHe populates his 
 musical world with themes and stylistic elements provided by the greatest 
 voices of jazz: from Ellington to Monk and Mingus\, from Parker to Siver a
 nd Taylor. His technical and emotional capacity enables him to integrate t
 he varied elements inherited by the Masters of Tenor from Webster to Coltr
 ane into his own playing but according to his very own combination: the wi
 ld raspiness of his attacks\, his massive sound sculpted by a vibrato mast
 ered in all ranges\, his phrases carried to breathlessness\, his abrupt le
 vel changes\, the intensity of his tempos but also the velvety tenderness 
 woven into a ballad. His play consistently deepens the spirit of the two f
 aces of the original black American music: blues and spirituals. His work 
 with classics and with his own compositions (Bessie Smith&rsquo\;s Black W
 ater Blues or Mama Rose) contributes to maintaining alive the power of str
 angeness of these two musics in relationship to European music and express
 es itself in a unique mix of wounded violence and age-old nostalgia.\nThe 
 scope of his work which registered in the eighties a certain urgency (at t
 he cost of a few discrepancies) is a witness to the fact that in 1988 Arch
 ie Shepp was with Sonny Rollins one of the best interpreters in the babeli
 an history of jazz.\nWith his freedom loving sensitivity Archie Shepp has 
 made an inestimable contribution to the gathering\, the publicizing and th
 e inventing of jazz.
