Review

Tenor saxophonist Archie Shepp helped lead an unabashedly political strain during the days of mid-1960s avant-garde jazz. Shepp also peppered most of his recordings with a carefully fractured sound, full of hoarse utterances and guttural gestures towards the saxophone tradition. The reissue of *On This Night* collects some of the best music Shepp played with vibraphonist Bobby Hucherson, who sounds icily abstract with Shepp's chunks of saxophone sound falling all around him. Some of the best moments here feature bassist David Izenson and drummer J.C. Moses playing stunning, spiky numbers. Another treat is famed drummer Ed Blackwell, adding polyrhythmic complexity on his percussive rhythm logs. Andrew Bartlett
