Archie Shepp

• NEVER BEFORE RELEASE
• DELUXE EDITION
• CLASSIC TIP-ON GATEFOLD JACKET
• REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES
Another absolutely mind-blowing gem from Transversales Disques, Archie Shepp's "Live in Paris (1974) Lost ORTF Recordings" is some of the best jazz of the era that almost no one ever heard. Fully mastered from the original tapes and capturing one of the great giants of free jazz in a crucial moment of change - tracing toward funkier, fusion tinged compositions, and more straight ahead bop at the boundaries of spiritual jazz - the historical importance and raw beauty of these never before released recordings are impossible to overstate. Ten out of ten, and a bit beyond, this one is as essential as they come!
