ARCHIE SHEPP QUARTET

i.c.w. Stranger than Paranoia

Archie Shepp, avantgardist from the very beginning, living legend, one in a million saxophonist, puts his emphasis on seducing rather than on provoking but the message is the same: the force and spirituality of the music that he always calls Afro-American. This doesn’t just count for gospel or rap but also for bob, ballads and blues.
