Archie Shepp - Kwanza - Verve By Request LP

180g Vinyl LP — Verve By Request Series, Remastered from Analog Tapes

These 1969 recordings (released five years later) combine Archie Shepp's free jazz bonafides with a blend of blues and funk through an African lens, all in a big band setting. An all-star brass section featuring James Spaulding and Charles Davis on saxophone, along with trombonist Grachan Moncur III, leads the way on standouts including "New Africa" and "Spoo Pee Doo." The Verve By Request Series presents transfers from analog tapes, remastered on 180-gram vinyl and pressed at Third Man Pressing in Detroit.
