- The Archie Shepp Quatet performs the jazzstandard Here's That Rainy Day.
Last year on June 25 The New York Times Magazine listed Archie Sheep among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire. So many musicians mourned the fiery destruction of their mastertape recordings. We are so glad to have this beautiful memory in our archive.
Archie Shepp - sax, Horace Parlan - piano, Wayne Dockery - bas, Steve Mc Craven - drums
The day Archie Shepp entered our little studio in Amsterdam back in 1994 we were aware of the fact that he was, beside a legendary saxophone player, also a pianist, a poet, and a playwright. And during his early years in New York, he participated in Amiri Baraka’s circle and recorded with major figures, such as Cecil Taylor and John Coltrane. We were so exited. Also because Horace Parlan was playing along, known for his contributions to some Charles Mingus recordings.
Archie Shepp was a bit grumpy that early morning of the tv recording and wanted a chair. He acted like an old man but he was only 57. Nevertheless his playing had a great impact on us. His sweet, breathy tone could suddenly turn into a massive sound with heavy vibrato and little yelps in the upper register. So tasteful.
“If Trane is the father, Pharaoh the son and Ayler the holy ghost…Archie Sheep is the uncle that no one mentions” (All about Jazz)
Luckily in May uncle Achie Shepp will be celebrating his 83rd birthday.

There are extraordinary close ups of Archie's embouchure, he was said to use a double lip technique, however I've never seen anyone blow a sax mouthpiece between their top lip and tounge, Archie Shepp did things his way, his tenor voice changed over the years, but was always expressive.
Truly one of a kind. Lyrical, humorous, perfectly out of tune, and out there.
I consider myself extremely lucky to have heard, seen, and spoken to these four gentlemen, more than once in my life.
They have contributed to turning this art form further into civilization. They are free.
The catalyst for this conjunction between me and them was Thomas Jurisch in Aachen.
Amazing that the pianist can play with his fingers on backwards.
Wow! from the first note to the very last, this was so moving and heartfelt - filled with emotional color.

ARCHIE SEPP CONTINUA VIVO !!! QUE BOM PARA TODOS NÓS !!!
Utterly sensuous and sumptuous.
Great stuff!
A unique and somewhat 'unorthodox' embochure. Truly avant-garde.
Archie is big to me.
Me encanta Archie Shepp especialmente cuando ínterpŕeta Bajo ĺóscielos d Paris

💙🙏
now these are some real heavy duty jazz cats..
My dear jazz lovers at Vrije Geluiden; please check the description of this video again!
The spelling of the name of your subject is wrong a few times.
Although calling him ‘Archie Sheep’ really suits him and his style of playing, I guess!
Peace love and take care,
George
X oh on.
É claro que a melhor técnica é aquela que vc. se adapta. No entanto no caso de Shepp, ele vai buscar seu "souffle" projetando a língua e inchando as bochechas. Parece que foi aluno de Dillespie... Foi um grande tenorista, que tocava com alma.
Sheep=Shepp
Давай встречаться
Joya !
Why are these images so off putting? Or is that just me? It's almost like this was intended for tripping... Either way, I intend to find out...
Lol!
Man those fingers and cheeks and mouth are inhuman :)
Music is sound in the air generated by humans playing musical instruments in real time. When music deviates from this discription there is a kind of falseness or even degridation coming into play. Music isn't identity politics it isn't a function of fame or reputation or notoriety as too many club owners $ believe or just acquiesce to. Given all of that: Is this a compelling delivery of this ballad by these 4 gentlemen? For me YES. But it's much easier to dig Pharaoh for me. The pianist was cool and actually soloed.
what's wrong with pianist's nail?
It got destroyed during their hot number.
He was striken with a polio(disease) as a kid. That's why.
@@TheFanusik what's his name
@@diegocasimiro9997 Horace Parlan
crook!!
Sheesh i can see why miles said he was a no playing muthafucka and never played when he was on stage.... 😐🤨👎🤮
listen to Malcom Semper Malcom then Bitches Brew and tell me Archie Wasn't a big inspiration for Miles on that record.
Miles has got nerve.
This is the same Miles Davis who put-out Bitches Brew and OTHER forgettable recordings that followed.
Bar slecht!
