Jazz / Avant-Garde; Free Jazz
Recorded: Apr 25, 1977
When the album by this unlikely duet of Shepp and Parlan playing hymns and spirituals came out in 1978 for the first time, it was an instant success and has become a classic since then. It is a success of unique theme (by the producer Nils Winther) and of sheer strength of musical material and of performance executed with grace and sensitivity.
Horace Parlan - piano Archie Shepp - tenor sax, soprano sax |
