Recorded live at The Jazz Standard, New York, New York on September 23-24, 2000. Includes liner notes by Roswell Rudd and Howard Mandel. Archie Shepp and Roswell Rudd originally made their mark in the 1960s as pioneers of the avant-garde or free jazz movement. Nearly 35 years after their last performance together they reunited for one night at the Jazz Standard for the performance captured on LIVE IN NEW YORK. Joining Shepp and Rudd for the occasion were veterans Reggie Workman on bass, Andrew Cyrille on drums, and Grachan Moncur III on second trombone. The ensemble performs a variety of tunes ranging from mellow bop to atonal explorations and presenting a healthy cross-section of the duo's careers, together and apart. Shepp momentarily puts down his sax to sing along with a few of his piano compositions, and though he's not the most accomplished singer or pianist, his songs are heartfelt and do not detract from the momentum of the album. Also in attendance is revolutionary poet Amiri Baraka delivering his interpretation of the blues in his classic beat-style poetry. LIVE IN NEW YORK relives an expressive, experimental time in jazz history.   Compilation Appearances Harry Smith Project:Anthology Of Amer(w/ Bonus DVD)   Associated Artists and Works Dean, Elton Hall, Glen Lacy, Steve Woyzeck's Death ~ Lowe, Allen Mixed ~ Taylor, Cecil   Technical Info Release Date : 08/07/2001 Original Release Date : 2001 Catalog ID : 013 482 Label : Verve (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Live Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00044001348228   Professional Reviews Entertainment Weekly (8/17/01, p.73) - "...This reunion concert finds their telepathic interplay and gift for serpentine, angular melody intact after a nearly 35-year interregnum..." - Rating: A    Product Image
