Recorded in 1978 in Warsaw, Poland, this set of Archie Shepps was played before
it became his journeyman live gig. The greasy rhythm section includes Wilber
Little on bass, the amazing Clifford Jarvis on drums, and German pianist
Seigfried Kessler on piano. There are three tunes in the set: one of the finest
and most involved harmonic performances of Mama Rose; Billy Strayhorns Lush
Life, which is a mirror image of Coltranes 19546 read, and goes on for a full 20
minutes. Finally, there is a shorter and more workmanlike reading of Ellingtons
In a Sentimental Mood, which nonetheless captures all of the emotion in the
original. But its Mama Rose that shows Shepp at his best, turning the modal
structure of the tune to his own intervallic dimensional favor. Shepp goes
meditating on breath and scales, and Jarvis anticipates his every move and gives
him the platform to roll out onto. Its astonishing, the intensity he gets to,
especially while keeping the melodic fragments together and stringing them
together with long open legatos of Eastern original and intricate modal density.
Lush Life is its stellar opposite, with Shepp staying deeply in the roots of
blues and swing, and Little doing some beautifully spacious arco work on the
bass. There is a problem, however, when one considers that this is on the
notorious (read: pirate) West Wind label. The recording quality is less than
stellar, and theres more than a good chance that Shepp never saw a dime from
this recording. That said, the performance is so stunning, it would be worth
purchasing and then sending Shepp a check through his management.~Thom Jurek
