Archie Shepp • Live at the Donaueschingen Music Festival [1967]

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
This is an exciting album. The important tenor Archie Shepp and his 1967 group -- with both Roswell Rudd and Grachan Moncur on trombones, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Beaver Harris -- romp through the continuous 43-and-a-half-minute "One for the Trane" before an enthusiastic audience at a German music festival. Although he improvises very freely and with great intensity, Shepp surprised the crowd by suddenly bursting into a spaced-out version of "The Shadow of Your Smile" near the end of this memorable performance. On the whole, this very spirited set represents avant-garde jazz at its peak and Archie Shepp at his finest.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Este es un álbum emocionante. El importante tenor Archie Shepp y su grupo de 1967 -- con Roswell Rudd y Grachan Moncur a los trombones, el bajista Jimmy Garrison y el batería Beaver Harris -- retozan a lo largo de los continuos 43 minutos y medio de "One for the Trane" ante un público entusiasta en un festival de música alemán. Aunque improvisa muy libremente y con gran intensidad, Shepp sorprendió al público al estallar de repente en una versión espaciada de "The Shadow of Your Smile" cerca del final de esta memorable actuación. En conjunto, este conjunto tan animado representa el jazz de vanguardia en su apogeo y a Archie Shepp en su mejor momento.
