Archie Shepp
Saxophonist Archie Shepp was one of the key figures in the free-jazz movement of the 1960s. A follower of John Coltrane, Shepp paid tribute to his mentor on 1964's FOUR FOR TRANE. Shepp's approach was marked by fiery improvisations, the incorporation of a diverse array of black musical forms (from gospel to R&B), and an ideological focus on revolutionary politics and themes of black power and identity. Shepp continued to record and perform into the 2000s.
