New York, Feb. 5, 1964. “After hearing this set, there can be no doubt that the new freedom in jazz is beginning to find direction. Shepp’s solos, based on jazz roots, are fascinating, full of wit and convincing. He keeps a listener with him, and he never lets him down. And it simply has not been heard any place before. Listening to Shepp play is experiencing the essence of the ‘new thing’ and it is very exciting.” - Bill Mathieu 1. Trio, 2. Quartet, 3. Somewhere, 4. Peace, 5.
