Archie Shepp Quartet - Blue Ballads / 2LP Venus Records

In 1995, "Blue Ballads" opened a three-part series of ballad albums by tenor saxophonist, composer and singer Archie Shepp. The intellectual musician, who actually turned to free jazz in the 1960s and 70s

and made a career of it, shows his tender side and interprets a number of classic jazz ballads. He is accompanied by pianist Horace Parlan.

Venus LPs are pressed only once. After the first edition is sold out, the titles are removed from the catalog. Collectors should therefore consider a purchase in time.
