Blasé

by Archie Shepp

Blasé cover art

A haunting and unconventional ballad, this album is a prime example of Archie Shepp's deep connection to the blues, filtered through the lens of the avant-garde. The session is defined by the unique, evocative vocal delivery of Jeanne Lee and Shepp's own raw, emotional tenor saxophone playing.
