Archie Shepp - The Magic of Ju-Ju - Verve By Request LP

180g Vinyl LP — Verve By Request Series

Opening with the 18-minute track of the same name, Archie Shepp's The Magic of Ju-Ju takes on a fevered pace as the centerpiece of this date from 1968. Shepp lets loose from the beginning, joined by Beaver Harris, Norman Connor, Ed Blackwell, Frank Charles and Dennis Charles, and the initial pace never dissipates across the title track. The rest of the album sits in a more traditional realm, making it a valuable snapshot of Shepp's contribution to spiritual and free jazz.
