a session of shepp doing ellington tunes. that's some radical jazz listening. at least you have the right shepp decade. but i'm sure that's just a coincidence.

I've had the LP for years and always liked it. Don't think I've ever seen it on CD or I probably would have copped it, sick OCD fuck that I am. Shepp's playing in the mid'70s to early '80s was to my ears, very accessible and quite swinging when the particular tune called for it. I saw him live several times during those years, at the Vanguard, Sweet Basil, as well as the loft jazz scene in the east Village, and he was always great.
