I haven't posted something like this since my Ahmad Jamal post. I grew up on this! My father played with Shepp in the seventies and this album was the soundtrack of my house as a kid. "Blues for Brother George Jackson" and "Quiet Dawn" are my family's theme songs. Enjoy this classic album that uses the Attica prison riots as a metaphor for the African American experience partnered with a funky avant-garde big band. Oh and below is a picture of my mom and dad circa I have no idea.
