The Impulse! classic “Attica Blues“, originally released in 1972, is one of saxophonist Archie Shepp’s most lasting and enduring works. With its powerful avant-garde tracks and strong political messages, the album is one of Shepp's most successful large-group projects. Rolling Stone wrote that it is "not just a masterpiece of protest: [...] it is more a political/religious experience, an appeal to higher human consciousness to, for God's sake, help us out of this torment."
