Captured live at the legendary Antibes – Juan-les-Pins Jazz Festival on July 18, 1970, Live In Antibes documents Archie Shepp and the Full Moon Ensemble at a pivotal moment in avant-garde jazz history. Recorded by O.R.T.F and released on the iconic BYG Records label, this performance stands as a powerful testament to Shepp's bold, politically charged approach to free jazz.
This Record Store Day 2025 exclusive marks the first time this recording has been available on vinyl in 55 years, restored and remastered from the original master tapes. Pressed on striking Orange and Brown color vinyl, the deluxe package features a gatefold jacket with two pockets, two printed inner sleeves, an OBI strip, restored original cover artwork, rare archival photos from the 1970 performance, and newly commissioned essays on Shepp's legacy by author and music journalist Kevin Le Gendre — making it an essential addition to any serious jazz collection.
