Archie Shepp / Bill Dixon ‎– Quartet

During the period of 1961-1963, saxophonist Archie Shepp and trumpeter Bill Dixon co-led a group that varied in size between a quartet, quintet and sextet, depending on the gig. However, their only recorded works together consist of the studio quartet album made for Savoy in October 1962, and presented here in its entirety.

Both musicians belonged to the avant-garde of free jazz and their celebrity had yet to arrive during the time they worked together.
