Archie Shepp! One of the greatest jazz artists of his generation. And certainly ( imo ) one of the most underappreciated. He was beyond category - couldnt be pigeonholed into any one genre ( avant-garde, traditional )and didn't care about "marketing" himself ( like Miles ) - he just let his music do the talking!

Archie Shepp, what a range of tone and style. Beautiful, poetic performance. Thanks mr. Shepp.

Shepp really played this great music nearly every concert in the period 1975 - 1980. Afterwards his sound and his power got slightly into a different direction. I have heard him live may be 80 times. Great band & video, the best video I know from this period. Thank you for uploading!!

Thanks

Mr Shepp at the peak of his creative spirit !!!

This is , organic, powerful, sincere, crative and expressive real music...

Archie the Conjurer.....Clifford was incredible........what a great period for Shepp

I enjoyed every sound guys, they brought a massive smile to my face. I’ll be practicing again in the morning. 🎶🎷😃

Thank You Yves…for the sharing…amazing Thank You ALL WHO KNOW AND QLOVE NOW YES YES YES

Hi, thanks for posting the full show. Titlelist. October 25 or 29 ,1978: Mama Rose 0:00 Lush life 28:03 U-Jamaa 39:49 In a sentimental mood 48:47 Confirmation 53:50

OMFG. This has to be the most incredible piece of music I've heard in years. With all apologies to Pharoah Sanders, a Master for sure, Archie Shepp was truly the Monster of Monsters on tenor sax. And that includes another monster called George Adams!!!!

Quand le jazz vole très très haut. Quel lyrisme ! Quelle énergie !

Waaw! Can't believe how i Van Winkled on Shepp. Waking up to him is like discovering a buried treasure.

The true Master. Genius. Absolutely.

Wow! This was one incredible concert! Everyone at the top of their game and fantastically documented! Thank you for this….. ❤❤❤

Amazing concert, merveilleux Archie Shepp !

Shepp ha sido mi maestro desde que comencé a tocar el saxo, durante 50 años. 🎷👍

Wow, yes, merveilleux is the appropriate, adjective!

Thank you very much for this video!! It is a spectacular, magnifiscent performance!

Holy crap but Cclifford Jarvis is a friggin MONSTER. WOW!!!

😍🎷♥

Thanks for posting this. I tool kit lessons with Clifford Jarvis in the late 1980s.

revolutionary! as jazz has always been....

Anybody have any idea of what kind of focus control and concentration it takes to do a slow steady build of intensity over the course of a tenor solo of this length without a single misstep never too much too soon but never falling back? And who can complement it more perfectly than Clifford Jarvis here? And then followed by a Lush Life as deep and blue as the first selection was intense! AMAZING performance by Mr. Shepp and company!

STRONG CONCERT, strong poem @ 16' onw. VIVA SHEPP ...

There is no doubt in my mind that Archie Shepp was one of the great tenor sax players of the last quarter of the last century. A giant among other giants like Trane and Pharoah. In fact I prefer his playing and conceptions to Trane's of the Acension period. The playing of this group here is incredible. Archie and the rhythm section are cooking with rocket fuel...Wilbur Little's bass lines are awesome as is Clifford Jarvis on the skins...incredible really....and the pianist, who I had never heard of before is also great. Man oh man what Awesome music.

Archie Shepp is the real deal for sure!

Super great merci . Quelle énergie, un peu like fela kuti.

Beautiful playing! - sustained balance between swing and texture

Great postPataki

Would love to hear what those in 1978 in Communist Poland made of this?

Remind Coltrane style

Never heard of this guy. Not bad but I am more into smooth Jazz, People like Norman Brown, Najee etc. This gives more of the Miles Davis, Coltrane kind of Vibes.

I'm afraid that doesn't do much for me, it's Coltrane and the 1960's.
