Archie Shepp
Deja Vu

I'm not sure I dig the atonality and dissonance on this record, but I have to say it has one of the most stunning album covers I've ever seen!

Reviews:
Down Beat (9/97, p.54) - 4 1/2 stars (out of 5) - "...[the] 20-bit digital remastering...gives the breezy Brazilian lilt added warmth..."

JazzTimes (11/94, pp.88-89) - "...essential for all serious jazz collections...served as proof that it is possible for music to be both artistically and commercially successful...this relatively sparse setting with the great Getz perfectly fit the music, resulting in a true gem..."
