Tribute to Charlie Parker.

[EN] In the Paris of 1979, the legendary Archie Shepp bestows upon us a precious musical gem, recorded in homage to the incomparable Charlie Parker. At the heart of this captivating musical evening, Shepp introduces his ensemble, consisting of Bob Cunningham on double bass, Clifford Jarvis on drums, Everett Hollins on trumpet, and the faithful Siegfried Kessler on the piano. What sets this memorable performance apart is the deliberately slow tempo that permeates the music, creating a profoundly introspective atmosphere. Archie Shepp, a master of the tenor saxophone, reinvents himself in this interpretation by boldly deviating from the rhythmic signatures of the original pieces. The standards are transformed into bluesy jams, offering a more intimate experience to the listeners. The pinnacle of this evening lies in Archie Shepp's captivating solos, radiating with inspiration and creativity. This record thus remains a precious jewel in the discography of this exceptional saxophonist, an unforgettable tribute to Charlie Parker's immeasurable influence on the world of jazz.

[FR] Dans le Paris de 1979, le légendaire Archie Shepp nous offre une précieuse pépite musicale, enregistrée sous les auspices d'un hommage mémorable à l'incomparable Charlie Parker. Au cœur de cette soirée musicale captivante, Shepp présente son ensemble, composé de : Bob Cunningham à la contrebasse, Clifford Jarvis à la batterie, Everett Hollins à la trompette, et le fidèle Siegfried Kessler aux touches du piano. Ce qui distingue cette performance mémorable, c'est le tempo délibérément lent qui imprègne la musique, créant ainsi une atmosphère profondément introspective. Archie Shepp, maître du saxophone ténor, se réinvente dans cette interprétation, en déviant audacieusement des signatures rythmiques des morceaux originaux. Les standards deviennent des jams blues, offrant une expérience plus intime aux auditeurs. L'apogée de cette soirée réside dans les solos captivants d'Archie Shepp, qui rayonnent d'inspiration et de créativité. Ce disque demeure ainsi un joyau précieux dans la discographie de ce saxophoniste d'exception, un hommage inoubliable à l'influence inestimable de Charlie Parker sur le monde du jazz.
