1980: Archie Shepp and pianist Horace Parlan in duo, playing the blues repertoire with devastating simplicity - after all the fire, this. Two masters letting the tradition speak through them: "Trouble in Mind", the old testament of the form, delivered without irony, without archaeology, just weight and feeling. Parlan's story alone - the childhood polio, the right hand rebuilt into one of the most distinctive comping styles in jazz - would make the record moving; the playing makes it essential. The companion to their treasured spirituals duo, and one of the most beloved records in the whole SteepleChase catalog. Japanese pressing.
