Archie Shepp & The New York Contemporary Five

NEW VINYL LP ON STORYVILLE 2018

180 GRAM VINYL.

This historic live album was recorded at the Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen on November 15, 1963 and featured saxophonists Archie Shepp and John Tchicai, trumpeter Don Cherry, bassist Don Moore and drummer JC Moses. The distinctive style of contemporary jazz the quintet played was already familiar in New York but welcomed as refreshing and innovative in Europe and Scandinavia. This performance was recorded on the final night before the group split up and its members returned to the US with only Archie Shepp remaining in Denmark.
