Archie Shepp was born in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, in 1937. He grew up in the Philadelphia ghetto and later attended Goddard College in Vermont, where he majored in drama. Always a prolific musician, Shepp began playing tenor sax full-time while at Goddard, which eventually led him into the New York jazz scene, where he met pianist Cecil Taylor.
