Four for Trane is a studio album by tenor saxophonist Archie Shepp released on Impulse! Records in 1965. Four of the five tracks were composed and originally recorded by John Coltrane (released on his albums Giant Steps and Coltrane Plays the Blues) and rearranged by Shepp and trombonist Roswell Rudd.,,,

The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected this album as part of its suggested "Core Collection" calling it "one of the classic jazz albums of the '60s and a fascinating glimpse into how thoroughly different what was already thought of as the Coltrane revolution might sound." - Wikipedia

New York City R&B is a 1961 free jazz album originally recorded at a session by bassist Buell Neidlinger but subsequently reissued under joint names with the pianist Cecil Taylor.

Writing for AllMusic, Scott Yanow commented: "The music is quite advanced for the period, although more accessible to the average listener than Taylor's later recordings; one can hear, even in abstract form, his connection to the bebop tradition and to Duke Ellington." - Wikipedia

Archie Shepp - Four for Trane

Co-produced by Coltrane, this is Shepp's Impulse debut, featuring, as you might expect, all tracks penned by Coltrane.

But that doesn't mean they're *profoundly* altered by Archie Shepp and crew.

Shepp (sax) is joined by John Tchicai (alto), Alan Shorter (trumpet - Wayne's brother), Roswell Rudd (trombone), Reggie Workman (bass), and Charles Moffett (drums)/

New York Art Quartet is the debut album by the group of the same name. It was recorded on November 26, 1964, at Bell Sound Studios in New York City, and was released in 1965 by ESP-Disk ..

Writing for All About Jazz, Clifford Allen commented: "Cooking through contradiction, the New York Art Quartet cut some of the most powerful music in the free jazz underground..Graves is defiantly in his own orbit. Rather than providing a canvas to free the soloist a la Sunny Murray, Graves is impulsive and either ignores or counteracts the soloist with non-isometric phrases, creating tension through non-unison collectivity. Yet there's propulsion and swing by dint of disparity, a pulse that's kinetic even if it's multidirectional."

Mohawk is the second album by the New York Art Quartet. It was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder on July 16, 1965, and was released later that year by Fontana Records. It features John Tchicai on alto saxophone, Roswell Rudd on trombone, Reggie Workman on bass, and Milford Graves on percussion.

In the album liner notes, Tchicai wrote: "The important thing about our music is that it must be heard and listened to without preconceived ideas as to how jazz should sound – listen to it as MUSIC and let that be the only label!"

David Toop described the group's sound on the album as "deliberately ragged, bleary themes tumbling out in spasms, notes tailing away as if lost to daydream, the music so open that total collapse seems perpetually imminent... quite unlike the music of their peers." - Wikipedia

Everywhere is an album by American jazz trombonist Roswell Rudd featuring studio performances recorded in July 1966 for the Impulse! label.

In a review for KPCC, Peter Stenshoel stated that the album was "burnt into [his] brain" when he awoke during the night "to hear the man's trombone exhorting like Ian McKellen strutting a stage: barking, growling, teasing the language. All around him a conflagration was fed by high-pitched reeds, two string basses, and a drummer with six arms." He praised "Yankee No-How," writing: "The fun melody gives way to a healthy group improvisation that flows organically, functions as single working unit and reveals the impromptu skills of his fellow musicians." - Wikipedia

Jazztodon artist of the week: Roswell Rudd! Although skilled in a variety of genres of jazz (including Dixieland), and other genres of music, he was known primarily for his work in free and avant-garde jazz. Beginning in 1962 Rudd worked extensively with saxophonist Archie Shepp. He extended his reach further, recording an album with the Mongolian Buryat Band from Mongolia and Buryatia.
