The organisers of the Cheltenham Jazz Festival have announced that due to unforeseen circumstances the Sun Ra Arkestra has had to cancel its headline appearance
at the festival on Saturday 2 May. However they have managed to line up
a suitably heavyweight replacement in the form of saxophone giant Archie Shepp and his quartet, who make their festival debut at 1.30pm in the Big Top venue on 2 May.
The 77-year old saxophonist has been on fine form of late – headlining
the 2013 EFG London Jazz Festival at the Barbican with his Attica Blues
Orchestra to great acclaim – where he celebrated the legacy of his
classic 1972 Impulse! album of the same name via blues, gospel and civil
rights inspirations capped by his fiery free bop playing and
impassioned vocals.
