Abstract
Archie Shepp’s memorable three-hour concert on October 21, 1967, at the famous Donaueschingen Musiktage (released as LP [92], part I: 22:00, part II: 21:45 (figure 2.1) was entitled One for the Trane, referring to ‘the father of them all’ John Coltrane, who had passed away from liver cancer in July. Shepp’s exquisite quintet featured trombonists Roswell Rudd and Grachan Moncur, Jimmy Garrison on bass, and drummer Beaver Harris. Shepp appeared in traditional African dress and provoked a thorough shock not only to the New Music establishment (as stated by the German Jazz expert Joachim Ernst Berendt-see our catchword above), but also to the festival organizer Heinrich Strobel.
