Backed by a quintet featuring Charles McGee (tp), Charles Eubanks (p), Santi Debriano (b), and John Betsch (ds), the album draws from sessions recorded in 1981 at Jazz Unité in La Défense, the major urban redevelopment district just outside Paris. Opening with a cover of the stage classic My Man and weaving in Shepp’s own original tribute to Bechet, the record delivers deeply expressive readings of Bechet’s timeless repertoire throughout. Every track is exceptional, but A1 and A3 — featuring guest vocals by Michelle Wiley — come especially recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 50, 50); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003eA1:\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260321\/OMH26010259_a1.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-describedby=\"a11y-new-window-external-message\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(58, 58, 58); text-decoration: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); touch-action: manipulation; border-bottom: 1px solid currentcolor; padding-bottom: 1px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal;\"\u003eMy Man\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 50, 50); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 50, 50); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003eA3:\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260321\/OMH26010259_a3.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-describedby=\"a11y-new-window-external-message\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(58, 58, 58); text-decoration: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); touch-action: manipulation; border-bottom: 1px solid currentcolor; padding-bottom: 1px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal;\"\u003eBlues for Bechet\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"organic music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50331642822880,"sku":"OMH26010259","price":2530.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/8073\/2616\/files\/IMG_9816.jpg?v=1774076688","url":"https:\/\/organicmusic.jp\/en\/products\/archie-shepp-passport-to-paradise","provider":"PHYSICAL STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
