Archie Shepp - "Attica Blues" (1972)

Fabulous reissue from #ImpulseRecords The sound of this lp is so much richer and deep than any digital version I've heard. A+

So many great musicians on this, including Shankar of #ECMRecords fame on violin, which would have made this possibly his earliest appearance on a recording.

Album cover features a photograph of Archie Shepp seated at a piano, with a cigarette in his mouth and window behind him.  A saxophone lies on top of the piano.  A shelf with messy stacks of books is seen to the side, along with a couple of green beer bottles, and a poster of two black Olympic athletes raising their fists in protest on the podium at the 1968 Olympic Games.
