One of the last truly outside albums recorded by Archie Shepp in the 70s – a French performance that’s very similar to the open-ended, freely-blown recordings he did for the BYG/Actuel label a few years before! The record captures Shepp in territory that’s different than some of the more structured recordings and sets of standard material he’d soon be giving the world – and he blows tenor with unbridled energy on long live tracks – working with a very cool group that includes the great Charles Greenlee on trombone, plus Dave Burrell on piano, Cameron Brown on bass, and Beaver Harris on drums! The band plays with a perfect style that matches freer soloing with soulful modal rhythms – and as a French-only release, it’s one of the more obscure Archie Shepp sessions from the period. Titles include “Hipnosis”, “U-Jaama”, “African Drum Suite”, and the amazing “Blues For Don L Duck”.
