While he may have been known as a wildcard within the breakout years of free jazz in the 60s, Archie Shepp also had the capacity to temper his errant fluctuations into the more tender end of jazz musicianship. On this 1992 album he teamed up with pianist Horace Parlan, bassist Wayne Dockery and drummer Steve McCraven for a series of ballads. Expressing the vocals of the songs they covered through his powerful but delicate sax playing, Shepp proved he was more than just a noisy upstart, and the whole quartet delivers a career-best performance.
