Max Roach & Archie Shepp
The Long March
Hatology 2-640
Max Roach – drums
Archie Shepp – tenor saxophone
Recorded in concert at Willisau Jazzfestival on August 30th, 1979, two significant artists of different generations share a creative impetus of social and political concern, find a common ground of sound, and improvise a music of conscience and consequence that transcends time and place and comments on the human condition – an eternal struggle between intolerance and love. The song (and its message) remains the same. --Art Lange
