These 1969 recordings (released in 1974) combine Archie Shepp's free jazz bonafides and a blend of blues/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-out cuts including "New Africa" and "Spoo Pee Doo." Verve By Request Series features transfers from the analog tapes remastered on 180-gram vinyl.
