Features Song Lyrics for Archie Shepp's Fire Music album.

Fire Music is a studio album by Archie Shepp released on Impulse! Records in 1965. Malcolm, Malcolm Semper Malcolm" is dedicated to Malcolm X, whilst "Los Olvidados" is a homage to the film of the same name. Overall, this set, even with its faults, is recommended". Hambone" (Archie Shepp) – 12:29. Los Olvidados" (Shepp) – 8:54.

This particular early Archie Shepp recording has its strong moments, although it is a bit erratic. Four selections utilize an advanced sextet. Of these songs, "Hambone" has repetitive riffing by the horns behind the soloists, and Shepp's bizarre exploration of "The Girl from Ipanema" gets tedious, but the episodic "Los Olvidaos" is quite colorful, and the tenorman sounds fine on a spacy rendition of "Prelude to a Kiss

Listen free to Archie Shepp – Fire Music (Hambone, Los Olvidados and more). This particular early Archie Shepp recording has its strong moments, although it is a bit erratic. Of these songs, "Hambone" has overly repetitive and rather monotonous riffing by the horns behind the soloists, and Shepp's bizarre exploration of "The Girl From Ipanema" gets tedious, but the episodic "Los Olvidaos" is quite colorful, and the tenorman sounds fine on a spacy rendition of "Prelude to a Kiss

Archie Shepp's fire music is an album essential to any jazz collection. Actually, Fire Music is hardly free jazz at all. The album starts with Hambone. The convulsive piece is highly arranged and orchestrated, with scary, dark, dissonet chord blocks, to which the band plays almost in unison (I'll get to that ALMOST shortly) It breaks in the middle to a blues, and then it is back to the full frontal assult of the beginning. More orchestrations abound: especiially on the second track, and on the rendition of Jobim's Girl From Ipanina. Fire Music," with its rich horn textures, contsantly changing tempos, and inventive, original compositions and arrangements, has to be Archie Shepp's best album as a leader. Archie's tenor playing is passionate and wild, and the incredible band of Ted Curson (tp), Joe Orange (tb), Marion Brown (as), Reggie Johnson (b) and Joe Chambers (d) follow suit.
