Doodlin' is an album by jazz saxophonist Archie Shepp recorded in Paris, France, in November 1970 and released on the Inner City label in 1976. The album features performances by Shepp with Alan Shorter, Bob Reid and Muhammad Ali.[2]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn calls the album an "Interesting, albeit flawed late '70s (sic) work with Shepp trying his hand at piano as well as his usual sax. Sometimes he makes good statements, but other times, his lack of sufficient experience can be heard. Still, it's not among his worst releases, but not his best either".[3]
