Archie Shepp Attica Blues Orchestra - I Hear the Sound (2013)

Recorded in France in 2012 and 2013, I Hear the Sound is a live recording of saxophonist Archie Shepp's oratorio, "Attica Blues," co-written and arranged with Cal Massey in 1971, which was first heard on an Impulse! album a year later. Most of that album, Attica Blues, is revisited, with some adjustments to the running order of the tunes. In addition, Duke Ellington's "Come Sunday" is woven into the middle of the suite, and Shepp's "Mama Too Tight," the title track of a 1967 Impulse! album, serves as a coda.
