Archie Shepp: The Way Ahead LP VRC Edition
Released on Impulse in 1968, The Way Ahead captures saxophonist Archie Shepp at a pivotal moment, bridging the raw intensity of the avant-garde with the deep roots of blues, spirituals, and Ellingtonian swing. It was Shepp’s first session to feature piano, grounding the music without taming its fire. Joined by an exceptional ensemble including Jimmy Owens (trumpet), Grachan Moncur III (trombone), Walter Davis Jr. (piano), and Roy Haynes and Beaver Harris (drums), The Way Ahead is searching and soulful, where tradition and the turbulence of the late ’60s collide.
