Shepp, Archie (Vernon) (sh) and anthropological (medicine)


Shepp, Archie (Vernon) (sh)




born May 24, 1937, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., U.S.

U.S. jazz saxophonist and composer.

Shepp was originally inspired by John Coltrane. His playing increasingly demonstrated the influence of Ben Webster, with a wide vibrato and gruff tone; his occasional eruptions of harsh screams and multiphonics (two notes played simultaneously) became trademarks of avant-garde saxophone technique. His first recordings were with free-jazz pianist Cecil Taylor (b. 1933) in the early 1960s; thereafter he worked as leader of his own groups. Also a playwright and educator, Shepp became an eloquent spokesman for the new Music and its social significance.
