[Archie Shepp]Four for Trane LP cover art proofNew York: Impulse!, [1965]. Offset. One sheet, 12 x 12 in. Matted, framed, and glazed to 17 x 17 in.Art proof for Archie Shepp's first record with Impulse!, Four for Trane. The saxophonist spent months trying to contact Impulse! producer Bob Thiele, but it was ultimately through Coltrane's intervention that the record got made. Shepp said of the recording: "When we did the Four for Trane date, it went down almost take by take, because we had rehearsed nightly for months. After the third song, Bob, who had been really terribly rude at the beginning, smoking his pipe like a chimney, he brightened up a bit, sat down and said, 'I've got to call John and tell him this stuff is great.' He said, 'John, you got to come out and hear this!' Well, Coltrane already knew. He had been listening to this stuff for the last couple of years because the avant-garde was all around New York... John was very gracious. He drove out from his home in Long Island to Englewood, at about eleven o'clock at night. I assumed he got out of his bed, because when we took that photo they put on the album cover [he was] with no socks, you know."
