Description:

Vinyl Neuauflage des Albums aus 1968 der Jazz Gruppe Archie Shepp & The New York Contemporary Five. Archie Shepp + The New York Contemporary Five, Vol. 2 wurde am Ende einer Reihe von Engagements in Skandinavien aufgenommen und zeigt eine Gruppe junger Musiker, die auf der Suche nach neuen musikalischen Wegen sind und eine einladende Umgebung fern der Heimat gefunden haben. Im November 1963 waren The New York Contemporary Five dabei, den Avantgarde-Jazz, wie er von Ornette Coleman und Cecil Taylor in Kopenhagen und Schweden eingefÃ¼hrt wurde, zu konsolidieren, da die New Yorker Clubs den Stil, den das Quintett speziell fÃ¼r ihr Engagement auf dem Montmartre in Kopenhagen entwickelt hatte, noch nicht vollstÃ¤ndig Ã¼bernommen hatten und sich unmittelbar danach fÃ¼r einige Zeit auflÃ¶sen wÃ¼rden. Band 2 dokumentiert ein Quintett von experimentellen KÃ¼nstlern, die mehr als 50 Jahre spÃ¤ter noch nicht die weltweite Anerkennung gefunden hatten, die sie heute genieÃ?en. - .. FIVE VOL.2

Recorded at the end of a string of engagements throughout the Scandinavian countries, Archie Shepp + The New York Contemporary Five, Vol. 2 captures a group of young musicians seeking new musical ground and having found a welcoming environment far from home. In November of 1963, The New York Contemporary Five were consolidating avant-garde jazz as pioneered by Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor in Copenhagen and Sweden, as New York clubs had yet to fully embrace the style The quintet had formed specifically for their engagement at Montmartre in Copenhagen and would disband for some time immediately after. Vol. 2 documents a quintet of experimental artists that had yet to gain the worldwide recognition that they enjoy today, more than 50 years later. In this early era of The New York Contemporary Five, Archie Shepp, who embodied his musical generation's experimental nature, shows compelling technical prowess that runs alongside an early-stage knack for experimentation. From a modern perspective, the album sounds particularly indicative of the Archie Shepp that history has come to know as a central figure in the primary canon of avant-garde jazz.

Recorded live at Jazzhus Montmartre November 15, 1963
