Review
by Scott Yanow
This is one of Archie Shepp's more erratic sets. On the 15 1/2 minute "Mama Rose," athe great tenor (who is joined by pianist Ken Werner, bassist Santi Debriano and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith) unfortunately plays his out-of-tune soprano and takes an eccentric vocal. Additionally, Werner's brief "Soul Song" tends to wander without much direction. Much better is the 18 1/2 minute "Geechee," a lengthy workout for Shepp's emotional tenor, but due to this release's weak first half, it can be safely passed by.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Este es uno de los sets más erráticos de Archie Shepp. En "Mama Rose", de 15 minutos y medio, el gran tenor (al que acompañan el pianista Ken Werner, el bajista Santi Debriano y el baterista Marvin "Smitty" Smith) toca desafortunadamente su soprano desafinada y toma una voz excéntrica. Además, la breve "Soul Song" de Werner tiende a divagar sin mucha dirección. Mucho mejor es "Geechee", de 18 minutos y medio de duración, un largo ejercicio para el emotivo tenor de Shepp, pero debido a la débil primera mitad de este disco, puede pasarse por alto.
