Released in 1971, this album is by the jewel-like saxophonist Archie Shepp, an artist who—alongside John Coltrane and Cecil Taylor—issued a remarkable body of work synthesizing Afrocentric jazz with a wide spectrum of Black music, from the avant-garde to the blues. The session features an exceptional cast including Charles Greenlee, Leroy Jenkins, Beaver Harris, and Grachan Moncur III, with vocalist Joe Lee Wilson also prominently featured. Deeply imbued with the political and spiritual messages that emerged from the Civil Rights Movement of the late 1950s and early ’60s, and in the wake of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in 1968, this recording stands as a pivotal work leading directly to the following year’s Attica Blues. A historic masterpiece in which gospel choruses and African rhythms stir the soul at its core. Original U.S. pressing.
