For Shepp, his focus on the Afrocentric experience in music preaches both the new and old testament, as evidenced by these revisited recordings. His sound draws from spirituals and blues as much as it does free jazz and fire music. It is always an activist music, as Shepp was/is always an activist. Mark Corroto
