Tenor saxophonist Archie Shepp's 1966 release collects valuable loose ends recorded between March and August 1965.
Among the highlights are a passionate reading of Duke Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood" and the title piece, a moving tribute to W.E.B. DuBois, featuring the haunting soprano vocalist Christine Spencer employing a distinct 20th century classical influence, with Shepp on piano.
Shepp is the solo horn on these dates, playing at peak form with contributions from vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson early in his career, David Izenzon or Henry Grimes on bass, and four rotating drummers, including Rashied Ali, J.C. Moses, Joe Chambers, and Ed Blackwell, playing a variety of percussion

Plays beautifully throughout with nothing to fault the crystal clear, clean, warm sound bar a little low-level surface on the quiet spoken intro to the final track

A crisp, sharp cover with a deep gloss to the front laminate showing just a little ring.
