Archie Shepp, “Mama Too Tight”
Not feeling too Tumblry lately — work being busy and all — but enjoy the first in an unknown-numbered series of video clips involving music that is of a quality I would call “good”. This is the second/title track of an album that was an infamous household Holy Grail for my jazz-enthusiast stepdad, and I like how it draws a line from “Watermelon Man” to James Brown while still having room for a bit of odd free-form dissonance.
