ARCHIE SHEPP QUARTET (GEEN RESERVERINGEN MOGELIJK)
Archie Shepp sax, Tom McClung piano, Wayne Dockery bas, Steve McCraven drums
‘If Trane is the father, Pharoah: the son, and Ayler: the holy ghost, Archie Shepp is the uncle that no one mentions’ (All About Jazz). Shepp carries the torch of the great preachers of the tenor saxophone, with a warmth and directness that goes back to Don Byas and Ben Webster. The avant-gardist pioneer, whose sound is instantly recognizable, has downplayed his shock tactics in recent years, in favour of a more seductive sound. The message remains intact: the power and spirituality of the music he consequently calls Afro-American. This implies not only gospel or rap, but also bop, ballads and blues.
For this concert it’s not possible to make a reservation. You can buy your tickets on our website or at the box office: opened on concertsnights from 6:30 p.m.
