This is a classic masterpiece from "Free" Jazz golden age. Four For Trane and his great Impluse! performances to come.
I recently saw Shepp live and... well these were THE days!

Great record. This is Shepp in the best days, just before Four For Trane and his great Impulse! recordings. Too bad he did not kept on performing with Cherry, though. I never heard a second recording with both playing.

I recently saw Shepp live.
Well, a waste of time; THOSE were the days.

ciao alessandro.

sei andato a vederlo all'ischia jazz festival? io non ho mai avuto occasione di vederlo dal vivo, ma ammetto che non mi dispiacerebbe vederlo suonare... in fondo è uno dei pochi leoni del free ancora in giro.

I'm trying very hard to absorb free jazz which usually happens when I stop trying very hard! Thank you for this!
