Dave Burrell am Klavier von Archie Shepp, August 1966 (Foto: Larry Fink)
da sieht das aktuelle arbeitszimmer (im vorhin verlinkten video zu sehen) sehr viel aufgeräumter aus. edit: quatsch, das ist ja der proberaum von shepp, nicht von burrell.
hier nochmal die passage aus dem text von accra shepp:
When I was growing up with my parents, brother, and two sisters in an apartment on Cooper Square in the East Village, my father always worked late, going to bed at four or five in the morning even when he wasn’t performing. His “studio” was separated from our apartment by a creaky hallway. But in the dysfunctional design of tenement buildings, the bathtub was part of that unit, so we sometimes trooped through rehearsals wet and shivering, and I would go to bed listening to him playing with Roswell Rudd, Beaver Harris, and other musicians.
My father was a revolutionary, both musically and politically. His music is intimately connected with the Black Power movement of the 1960s. At home there were Black Panther Party magazines lying about, and it was around the dinner table that I first heard of the Tuskegee Experiment, the FBI infiltration of the Black Power movement, and the fact that Thomas Jefferson had fathered Black children.
