These 1969 recordings (released 5 years later) combine Shepp’s free jazz bonafides and a blend of blues and funk through an African lens, all in a big band setting.
The all-star brass section, featuring James Spaulding and Charles Davis on sax along with trombonist Graham Moncur iii lead the way on stand outs including “new Africa” and “spoo pee doo”.
