Paris, August 1969, from the legendary BYG Actuel sessions - that miraculous month when the American avant-garde in exile recorded a whole library of masterpieces in a few French studios. Archie Shepp at his most sensual and unsettling: Jeanne Lee's unforgettable vocal on the title track, half seduction and half indictment, over blues harmonica, with Lester Bowie, Dave Burrell and Philly Joe Jones in the room. Blues, eros and revolution braided into one of the defining records of the Paris moment - and one of Shepp's very best anywhere. Affinity edition, the accessible way to own an untouchable session.
