Things Have Got to Change is an album by avant-garde jazz saxophonist Archie Shepp released in 1971 on the Impulse! label. The album features a performance by Shepp with a large ensemble and vocal choir. The album "solidified the saxophonists reputation as a soulful, yet radical free jazz artist motivated by social commentary and cultural change".[http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/artist/music/detail.aspx?pid=11267&aid=2793 Verve website] accessed 25 June 2009.
