The Magic Of Archie Shepp.......2006-09-16
"Magic Of Ju Ju" is no exception. Comming off the heels of his "The Way Ahead" release - which delivered a real innovative stab at avant gardism - Shepp persues in the same direction but switches to a different lane. Many of the songs on "The Way Ahead" begin with a tangible strolling feel and gradually pick up to a wild run of piercing sounds that focuses more on the horns. "The Magic Of Ju Ju" forgets about the stroll and the adventure to build musically - with the help of more percussion than any previous Shepp album - most of the songs here just start hammering away right from 00:01.
Because this album has not and probably will not be re-pressed for as a U.S. release in CD format, there are a few ways to obtain this gem: Impulse Records has offered this album strictly as a pay-and-download, Japanese imports are still floating in the mid-$20's pool, or you can get lucky like myself and buy it on first-pressing wax for $29.99.
Synopsis of the synopsis: Similar to "The Way Ahead" only more avant garde.
5 stars - there ain't no denying.
release this in the states, please!.......2005-06-24

One of my favorite Shepp records........2005-02-28
This is an April 1967 recording originally released on Impulse! during a period of time when Shepp saw his role as musical revolutionary. On this recording as well as others from that period he succeeded.
The title piece, The Magic of Ju-Ju is a tour-de-force. Eighteen plus minutes of Shepp roaring on tenor on top of a drum hurricane. Beaver Harris and Norman Conners play drums, Ed Blackwell plays rhythm logs, Frank Charles plays talking drums, Dennis Charles is on percussion and Reggie Workman is on bass. Shepp's huge tone is out front. The energy level starts off frenetic and stays there. This is great stuff but is definitely not background music. You either listen to music like this or you get hurt.
The other pieces also feature Martin Banks on trumpet and Michael Zwerin on trumpet and trombone. "You're What This Day Is All About" is my only problem with this CD. It starts off like a typical Shepp ballad from that period but fades just as it sounds like Shepp is starting to solo. What happened?
No problems with the last two pieces however. I am not sure who does the drum work on these pieces although I would venture on Harris. Same problem with who takes the trumpet solos. Since this CD release is an import with notes largely in Japanese (the original liner notes by Ralph Gleason are included in very fine print but are not helpful) we will never know until some American company gets their head...O, never mind. In any case these are fine hard bop showcases (with occassional forays into free territory)for Shepp and his cohorts.
Shepp's series of Impulse! recordings were some of the finest of 60's jazz. They must be heard. Not all will like them but they cannot be denied.
Definitely not for the Smooth Jazz fans!.......2002-09-30
