Archie Shepp and Horace Parlan - Trouble In Mind

Three years after the sensational spiritual recording by this duo Goin Home [ASCS 1079] producer Nils Winther had Archie and Horace in the studio again. The theme this time was traditional blues. Once again the Shepp-Parlan duo made one of the best selling SteepleChase releases. Englands Gramophone magazine called the duo "a powerful and ultimately inspirational collaborarion." This recording was awarded the Deutscher Schallplattenpreis for Modern Und Jazz-Rock of 1982 by the prestigious Deutsche Phono Akademie. The recording is so clear that you can hear the saxophone-flaps like a real concert. Bluesy ballads played with deep feeling.

Simply Beautiful posted on 10/24/2009 5 Stars This is a slower paced and solidly structured performance, dripping with emotion - delicate yet powerful. The sonic quality of the LP is top notch. You can almost feel Shepp's presence in the room with a good system. Highly recommended.

Most underrated tenor sax in jazz posted on 04/28/2009 5 Stars Reviewer: Eddie Kelly Archie Shepp is a living legend.A creative force of the sixties and an early proponent of the free school of jazz has developed into one of the most original and personal tenor saxophone players today.He plays the tenor and soprano saxophones with incredible mastery his sound and feeling is simply mesmerizing.Here with pianist Horace Parlan they paint pictures of sound that transcends the actual tunes they play.They just communicate with the listener.Lovely.
