On Green Dolphin Street (Archie Shepp Album)
''On Green Dolphin Street'' is an album by saxophonist Archie Shepp recorded in 1977 for the Japanese Denon Records, Denon label. accessed February 10, 2017 Reception AllMusic stated: "The fact that Shepp is playing against such a conventional acoustic jazz backdrop gives ''On Green Dolphin Street'' its unique tension. The accompanists are a tamer group, working closer to the framework the songs provide. Still, Joe Chambers (drums), Sam Jones (bass), and Walter Bishop, Jr. (piano) are a sophisticated rhythm section managing to balance this with adept flexibility. Shepp's unique voice breathes new life into these standards, paying them the ultimate compliment; ''On Green Dolphin Street'' argues and convinces that these songs deserve to be sung again". ...

Charlie has seemingly lost the will to live, or at least he lacks the enthusiasm that h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
