{"product_id":"archie-shepp-magic-of-ju-ju-lp-vinyl","title":"Archie Shepp – Magic Of Ju-Ju","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArchie Shepp recorded \"Magic Of Ju-Ju\" at a moment when free jazz and Black cultural politics were inseparable, and his tenor saxophone carried both with equal force. The five-drummer lineup anchoring the title track was a deliberate invocation of African rhythmic tradition, grounding Shepp's most uncompromising playing in something ancient rather than merely avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLimited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Opening with the 18-minute track of the same name, Archie Shepp's The Magic of Ju-Ju takes on a fevered pace as the centerpiece of this date from 1968. Shepp let's loose from the beginning, as he's joined by Beaver Harris, Norman Connor, Ed Blackwell, Frank Charles and Dennis Charles. The initial pace never dissipates throughout the length of the title track. The rest of the music on The Magic of Ju-Ju is a departure from the first track, sitting in a more traditional realm. The album is a valuable snapshot in time, highlighting Archie Shepp's contribution to the space of spiritual and free jazz. Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style='font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, sans-serif;'\u003eSide A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. The Magic Of Ju-Ju (18:34)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. You're What This Day Is All About (1:47)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Shazam (4:43)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Sorry 'Bout That (10:08)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602475200888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.14.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Impulse!
