Stepping entirely away from the ferocious free jazz of his earlier career, saxophonist Archie Shepp teams up with pianist Horace Parlan for a profound exploration of African-American spirituals. The duo delivers incredibly tender, lyrical interpretations of traditional gospel and folk songs, honoring the deepest roots of black musical heritage. The recording is widely celebrated for its stark intimacy and profound emotional resonance.
