Blue Note

Archie Shepp is an American jazz saxophonist known for his passionately Afrocentric music of the late 1960s. His work focused on highlighting the injustices faced by African people. He has collaborated with various artists, including [Collaborator 1], [Collaborator 2], and his "New Thing" contemporaries, most notably [Contemporary Artist 1] and [Contemporary Artist 2].

Blue Note is a record label that has made a significant impact in the jazz genre. Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis, Blue Note focused on traditional jazz and swing recordings, producing timeless classics. In the 1950s, it became one of the first labels to feature bop musicians. After being acquired by *Universal Music Group* in 1965, Blue Note expanded its repertoire to include more commercially-oriented music like jazz-fusion. Throughout the years, Blue Note underwent various changes in ownership and reissue programs but continued to release new recordings and previously unreleased material.

In 1982, Blue Note catalog reissues began appearing on *United Artists Records*, which was owned by Michael Cuscuna who oversaw the UA-era reissue program. The label was later relaunched as part of *Capitol-EMI's* subsidiary *Manhattan Records* in 1985. It was during this time that Blue Note released key albums from its history and introduced previously unissued material.

In 1989, Blue Note became the division under which all of Capitol-EMI's jazz activities were organized. However, two years later, *Manhattan Records* was revived for smooth jazz and pop-jazz releases while Blue Note continued to thrive as a prominent label within Capitol-EMI's roster.

Tenor sax firebrand and avant-garde hero Archie Shepp presents a collection of his most famous Impulse! albums of the 1960s: Four for Trane, On This Night, Fire Music, Mama Too Tight and The Way Ahead. Five classic jazz albums in one artist-themed budget-priced box, landmark albums and sought-after rarities. Remastered directly from the original tapes. Attractive slip-case artwork with CD wallets reproducing the original front/back cover art with full musician credits and recording dates.
