Archie Shepp - The Tradition DOUBLE VINYL LP
FOX034
Avant-garde giant Archie Shepp made an indelible contribution to experimental jazz. Double-
LP The Tradition was recorded in Rome in 1977 for Horo Records with drummer Clifford
Jarvis and bassist Cameron Brown; the raucous “Hooray For Mal” has shades of be-bop,
while Duke Ellington’s “Sophisticated Lady” is largely tackled by Shepp on upright piano
(with gorgeous soloing by Brown); “Things Have Got To Change” hearkens to Shepp’s
experience of the Pan-African Cultural Festival of Algiers of 1969 and Ellington’s “I Didn’t
Know About You” is relayed as a soft tenor ballad with rough edges.
