Archie Shepp’s 1969 album ‘Yasmina, A Black Woman’ was one of many jazz classics recorded in Paris by great African-American musicians at the end of the Sixties. The use of African instruments in the side-long free jazz opener ‘Yasmina’ help transform it into something utterly transcendent that pivots away from Western-centric jazz standards. The fusion of hard bop and avant-garde techniques on both tracks on side two – one of them featuring the legendary saxophonist Sonny Rollins – round out a forward-thinking classic.
