On Green Dolphin Street (Archie Shepp album)

On Green Dolphin Street is an album by saxophonist Archie Shepp recorded in 1977 for the Japanese Denon label.

[1] AllMusic stated: "The fact that Shepp is playing against such a conventional acoustic jazz backdrop gives On Green Dolphin Street its unique tension.

The accompanists are a tamer group, working closer to the framework the songs provide.

Still, Joe Chambers (drums), Sam Jones (bass), and Walter Bishop, Jr. (piano) are a sophisticated rhythm section managing to balance this with adept flexibility.

Shepp's unique voice breathes new life into these standards, paying them the ultimate compliment; On Green Dolphin Street argues and convinces that these songs deserve to be sung again".
