Dreaming of the Masters


Fiery saxophonist and living legend Archie Shepp wasn't all incendiary solos and free-jazz freak outs.  To calm everyone down and soothe frayed nerves during this Trump flu pandemic, here's the soulful and melodic Down In Brazil, the closing track from Shepp's 1975 LP, There's A Trumpet In My Soul, featuring Bill Willingham on vocals.  

In my college years, I often played this record late a night and would fell asleep while this song was playing on the turntable.
