En 1977, le saxophoniste Archie Shepp a commencé à s’inspirer de sources plus anciennes pour sa musique. Ses sorties sous le label Denon incluaient des reprises de Duke Ellington, des morceaux traditionnels et des compositions originales. “On Green Dolphin Street” suit cette tendance, mêlant standards de jazz et compositions originales de Shepp. Bien que parfois intense, le jeu de Shepp parvient à trouver un équilibre délicat entre des éclats d’énergie et une retenue lyrique, insufflant une nouvelle vie à ces standards et confirmant leur attrait durable.

In 1977, saxophonist Archie Shepp began drawing from older sources for his music. His Denon label releases featured Duke Ellington covers, traditionals, and original compositions. “On Green Dolphin Street” follows suit, blending jazz standards with Shepp’s originals. While his tone occasionally feels intense, Shepp’s playing strikes a delicate balance between bursts of energy and lyrical restraint, breathing new life into these standards and affirming their enduring appeal.
