1964 live album by New York Contemporary Five
Archie Shepp & the New York Contemporary Five is a live album by the New York Contemporary Five recorded at the Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, Denmark, on November 15, 1963, and featuring saxophonists Archie Shepp and John Tchicai , trumpeter Don Cherry , bassist Don Moore and drummer J. C. Moses . The album was originally released on the Sonet label in 1964 as New York Contemporary 5 in two separate volumes on LP and later as an edited concert on a single CD, removing the track "Cisum."[ 1]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow calls the album "historically significant".[ 4] John Barron wrote that the album declared "the arrival of a bold musical endeavor, intent on championing new sounds, heavily influenced by Ornette Coleman, Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane and Cecil Taylor," and "Having stood the test of time, this historically important — but shamefully underappreciated — live recording of The New York Contemporary Five sounds fresh and far-reaching almost fifty years later."[ 5] Jerry D'Souza wrote: "Given that the players went on to marked careers in the fiefdom of free jazz, this is certainly an historic document that stands as a take-off point."[ 6] Zachary Young wrote: "There's little that hasn't been written already about these musicians. Suffice it to say that the present set finds them in excellent form. An egalitarian ethos permeates the performance; the musicians are equal partners, and no one horn predominates."[ 7]
