Archie Shepp probably led more BYG recordings than anyone else. The first of his BYG's has been reissued as
Live At The Pan African Festival. The Pan African Festival in Algiers served as a great realization of art and culture for many of the participants and on this recording we heard Shepp,
Clifford Thornton, and Grachan Moncur III in an impromptu jam ("Brotherhood at Ketcha") with various native Algerian percussionists and "horn" men...Any study of
Shepp makes listening to all of his BYG recordings essential.
