Milestones

Archie Shepp Quartet - Live In Stuttgart {MKV} (1990)

A recording taken from the 6th International Theaterhaus Jazz Days 1990 held in Stuttgart. A wonderful concert capturing the then Archie Shepp Quartet in action. The broadcast enables the quartet to showcase four great tunes, two Duke Ellington numbers, a Cal Massy piece and one of Shepp’s own tunes; included is a short interview giving some insight to Archie’s philosophy on Jazz and Black Music. He leads his quartet playing both soprano and tenor saxes as well as some singing on “Mama Rose”. He is joined by the fantastic pianist Horace Parlan who sets out some vibrant solos. On bass is Wayne Dockery again like Horace gets a few of opportunities to demonstrate his skills. Last but not least is the energetic drummer Marvin “Smitty” Smith who clearly keeps the rhythm on a roll. The show was released on DVD which I converted to MKV for ease of upload, Enjoy!
