Archie Shepp's Blasé, recorded after his move to Paris, is a bold fusion of free jazz, gospel, blues, and Black political expression. Featuring vocalist Jeanne Lee and members of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, the album blends spoken word, radical politics, and avant-garde sound. Highlights include a soulful take on Duke Ellington's Sophisticated Lady and the driving Touareg, inspired by Shepp's experience at the 1969 Pan-African Festival in Algiers. A powerful statement of liberation and legacy, Blasé bridges generations of Black musical tradition.
