1	Steam (1976) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist This colorful live LP features Archie Shepp on tenor, and a bit of his more basic piano, playing three lengthy compositions (Duke Ellington's "Solitude," Cal Massey's "A Message from Trane" and Shepp's own "Steam") in a sparse trio with bassist Cameron Brown and drummer Beaver Harris. The avant-garde innovator Shepp still sounds pretty strong at ... see all copies from $15.87! new only from $15.87!
2	Yasmina, A Black Woman/Poem for Malcom (1969) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist see all copies from $10.58! new only from $10.58!
3	New Thing at Newport (1965) more music like this by John Coltrane With Archie Shepp add to wishlist The classic John Coltrane Quartet made one of its final appearances at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1965. The tension among bandmembers is evident on the advanced versions of "One Down, One Up" and "My Favorite Things." Coltrane's performance is moving...yet weary. It's apparent the saxophonist wasn't getting the sound he wanted and by the end of ... see all copies from $14.10! new only from $14.10!
4	Fire Music (1965) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist This particular early Archie Shepp recording has its strong moments, although it is a bit erratic. Four selections utilize an advanced sextet. Of these songs, "Hambone" has overly repetitive and rather monotonous riffing by the horns behind the soloists, and Shepp's bizarre exploration of "The Girl From Ipanema" gets tedious, but the episodic "Los ... see all copies from $20.75! new only from $36.24!
5	Live in New York (2001) more music like this by Archie Shepp & Roswell Rudd add to wishlist Recorded live at New York's Jazz Standard in 2000, this generally excellent CD marks the reunion of two avant-garde improvisers who were separated for way too long: tenor man Archie Shepp and trombonist Roswell Rudd. The jazzmen played together a lot during the turbulent 1960s but, regrettably, they didn't record together at all in the 1970s, ... see all copies from $3.01! new only from $13.78!
6	Attica Blues (1972) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist Refining his large-ensemble experiments of 1971, Attica Blues is one of Archie Shepp's most significant post-'60s statements, recorded just several months after authorities ended the Attica prison uprising by massacring 43 inmates and hostages. Perhaps because Shepp's musical interests were changing, Attica Blues isn't the all-out blast of rage ... see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
7	Four for Trane (1964) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist From 1964, Archie Shepp's first date as a leader featured -- as one would expect from the title -- four tunes by John Coltrane, his mentor, his major influence, and his bandleader. The fact that this album holds up better than almost any of Shepp's records nearly 40 years after the fact has plenty to do with the band he chose for this session, and ... see all copies from $8.47! new only from $8.47!
8	Kwanza (1974) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist Kwanza is a curious Archie Shepp recording. Released in 1969 on Impulse, it features cuts recorded between September 1968 and August 1969 with an assortment of lineups. Four of the album's five cuts were produced by Bob Thiele, and one, "Slow Drag," by Ed Michel. Shepp composed three tunes here, and he is in the company of musicians such as ... see all copies from $8.16! new only from $8.16!
9	Duet (1978) more music like this by Archie Shepp With Dollar Brand add to wishlist A somewhat surprising pairing at the time, the former firebrand of the tenor sax and the wonderful South African pianist found a pleasant and relaxed meeting point. By 1978, Shepp had largely abandoned the ferocious attack that gained him renown in the '60s, settling on a rich, Ben Webster-ish tone and playing a repertoire consisting of modern ... see all copies from $8.54! new only from $8.54!
10	The Way Ahead (1969) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist The Way Ahead was a turning point for Archie Shepp. For starters, he had looked all over the jazz/improv arena for the proper combination of players -- without a piano. One can speculate that this was because he cut his first teeth with pianist Cecil Taylor and that would perhaps ruin anybody for life. Recorded in 1969, The Way Ahead featured Ron ... see all copies from $8.51! new only from $8.51!
11	The Art of Jazz Saxophone: Explore (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.49!
12	Left Alone Revisited: A Tribute to Billie Holiday (2005) more music like this by Archie Shepp/Mal Waldron add to wishlist Mal Waldron's first tribute to Billie Holiday, titled Left Alone, was recorded in 1959, mere months before the singer's death. He returned to salute the legendary vocalist on several occasions since then, with this CD likely being his final tribute, recorded less than a year before his own death. Waldron, who worked with Holiday during her last ... see all copies from $17.62! new only from $17.62!
13	The Impulse Story (2006) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist Archie Shepp's volume in The Impulse Story series, with liner notes by Ashley Kahn, author of The House That Trane Built: The Impulse Story, is arguably the best and most representative of any of the editions in it. These ten cuts capture Shepp's many faces. There's his wonderful look inside the music of his mentor John Coltrane ("Naima" from Four ... see all copies from $10.60! new only from $10.60!
14	I Know About the Life [Hatology] (1981) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist This has got to be a first: Hat Hut Records reissuing an Archie Shepp standards date by the über-conservative (bordering on jazz fascism, really) Canadian label Sackville. Recorded in 1981 in a quartet setting featuring the great drummer John Betsch, bassist Santi Debriano, and pianist Ken Werner, Shepp doesn't so much explore these standards as ... see all copies from $16.11! new only from $16.11!
15	Ballads for Trane (1977) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist see all copies from $43.74! new only from $43.74!
16	Conversations (1999) more music like this by Archie Shepp/Kahil El'Zabar's Ritual Trio add to wishlist In a dedication to the late bassist Fred Hopkins, Shepp returns to the recording studio armed with his no-compromise, no-nonsense way of playing the tenor saxophone. It's still as cutting-edge dour as ever, supported by the beautiful underpinnings of the trio, with Ari Brown mostly on piano instead of saxophone as he is more widely heard, the ... see all copies from $14.24! new only from $14.24!
17	Body and Soul (1991) more music like this by Archie Shepp & Richard Davis add to wishlist This duet date from 1990 demonstrates the deep blues feeling and technical mastery Archie Shepp has on the tenor saxophone. Comprised of four standards -- "Things Ain't What They Used to Be," "Body and Soul," "Pannonica," and "'Round Midnight" -- this set is one of Shepp's most enjoyable ever. The reasons are myriad, but it is in large part due ... see all copies from $14.68! new only from $14.68!
18	Soul Song (1982) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist This is one of Archie Shepp's more erratic sets. On the 15½-minute "Mama Rose," the great tenor (who is joined by pianist Ken Werner, bassist Santi Debriano and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith)...plays his somewhat out-of-tune soprano and takes an eccentric vocal..The 18½-minute "Geechee" is a fine, lengthy workout for Shepp's emotional tenor... ~ ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $16.49!
19	Blasé (1969) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist see all copies from $6.75! new only from $6.75!
20	The New Wave in Jazz (1965) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The free or avant-garde jazz era was at its creative peak in 1965. This six-track anthology contains intriguing performances from primary and secondary artists, blending remastered versions of original numbers with two cuts first issued on the LP The New Breed. The John Coltrane Quartet's "Nature Boy" shows Coltrane at the edge on tenor. Tenor ... see all copies from $9.95!

24	Duo Reunion (1979) more music like this by Archie Shepp add to wishlist W/ Horace Parlan. One of the better, more moving sax/piano duos of the 70s reunite effectively. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.80! new only from $42.88!
25	The Colossal Saxophone Session (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This double-CD (originally cut for King) has a remarkable lineup of saxophonists: altoists Frank Morgan, Lee Konitz, Phil Woods, John Zorn, Steve Coleman, Donald Harrison, and Craig Bailey, Dave Liebman on soprano, and tenors Archie Shepp, David Murray, Houston Person, and Bennie Wallace. In fact, there is so much talent present (with a fine ... see all copies from $19.95! new only from $32.92!
