SWING LOW

In a concert given in Zurich in 1991, when it was then rare for Shepp to adopt the alto saxophone of his debuting years, this album offers a fine example of their repertory: a series of perfectly formed pieces, played with both the depth of experience and lucid distance. Going to the heart of the matter, the two musicians enable us to discover the very essence of jazz and Afro-American music in its full glory.
