This document provides a review of a jazz concert recording featuring Archie Shepp performing with Napoleon Maddox. The recording from 2007 presents a special project where Shepp explores the historical and political relevance of rap music. Shepp is joined by Maddox, a talented rapper, and their performance also includes a radio edit of a song with a strong anti-George Bush message. The recording features excellent performances from all the musicians and captures Shepp's continued passion and ability to inspire other artists through collaborative projects later in his career.
