Archie Shepp, with and without his saxophone, has been one of the most effective provocateurs in the jazz tradition. Provocateurs can be weak on the long game: they are often concerned with momentary disruptions, ways to knock you off guard. But in Shepp’s Attica Blues, from 1972, you hear a stake in the future.
