The New York Contemporary Five
Consequences (LP)
Though short-lived, the New York Contemporary Five brought together NY free players Don Moore on bass, J.C. Moses on drums, Archie Shepp on tenor saxophone, and Don Cherry on trumpet with Danish alto saxophonist John Tchicai, in a remastered edition of their 1966 album "Consequences", expanded with Shepp's revisiting of the material in a sextet with Sunny Murray and Ted Curson.
New York Contemporary Five was one of the key groups of the New Thing that exploded in the Big Apple of the early 1960s. Archie Shepp - tenor sax, John Tchicai - alto sax, Don Cherry, cornet, Don Moore - bass and J.C. Moses - drums. Themes from time to time burning, suffered, painful open up to improvisations fiery and polyphonic. An indelible document of historical Free Jazz.
