This is an unusual CD with Archie Shepp, mostly playing tenor but also contributing a couple of vocals and a bit of soprano, performing duets with the keyboards and synthesizer of
Jasper Van't Hof. The music (originals by
Shepp or
Van't Hof, along with
John Coltrane's "Naima") ranges from danceable tracks and mood pieces to explorative works, and generally holds one's interest. A good couple of days for
Archie Shepp, who could be quite erratic in the 1980s. ~ Scott Yanow
