[EN] Archie Shepp's Attica Blues Big Band is a modern reinterpretation in Big Band style of what was arguably the saxophonist's most ambitious work. The album Attica Blues, released in 1972 on the Impulse! label, was a committed response to the 1971 riots at the notorious Attica prison, which resulted in 39 deaths. Archie Shepp, then a prominent figure in free jazz and civil rights activism, composed this funky cry of protest, this furious and groovy fresco that merged blues, soul, funk, and jazz. Attica Blues Big Band is the live big band version recorded at the Palais des Glaces in Paris in 1979, featuring Ray Copeland, Kamal Alim, Roy Burrowes, Charles McGhee, Eddie Preston, Malachi Thompson, Charles Greenlee, Dick Griffin, Ray Harris, Charles Stephens, Steve Turre, Marvin Blackman, Marion Brown, Patience Higgins, John Purcell, James Ware, Art Matthews, Clyde Crymer, Brandon Ross, Candice Greene, Terry Jenoure, Carl Ector, Akua Dixon, Hakim Jami, Avery Sharpe, Clifford Jarvis, Kevin Jones, Irene Datcher, Akua Dixon, Terry Jenoure & Joe Lee Wilson.

[FR] Archie Shepp's Attica Blues Big Band est une relecture moderne et en Big Band de ce qui fut sans doute l'œuvre la plus ambitieuse du saxophoniste. L'album Attica blues, sorti en 1972 sur le label Impulse!, était une réponse engagée aux émeutes de 1971 du terrible pénitencier d'Attica qui fit 39 morts. Archie Shepp, alors artiste phare du free jazz et de la lutte pour les droits civiques, composa ce cri de révolte funk, cette fresque furieuse et groove qui fusionnait le blues, la soul le funk et le jazz.

A vital bridge between the Hard Bop era and today. Charles Tolliver's bright tones and nimble improvisation both remind us of Horace Silver, Jackie McLean, and Art Blakey and are evidence that jazz is alive and transcendent. Beatrice Cody & Stephen Page
