This record & Cover are in perfect condition!MR-016 - The Malcolm X Memorial (A Tribute in Music) (LP), by Philip Cohran and the Artistic Heritage Ensemble. Reissue of the 1968 Zulu Record Co. LP. Released March 2007. Mastered by Tim Stollenwerk. Nicely-packaged replica album features gatefold cover with archival photos and liner notes. An early member of the Sun Ra Arkestra, Cohran went on to record and self-release this LP in 1968, originally in an edition of 1000. Cohran, a personal friend of Malcolm X, created this concept album retelling the story of Malcolm's political and spiritual journey from a little boy ("Malcolm Little") to his later life pilgrimage to Mecca ("El Hajj Malik El Shabazz"). Features a tight groove-oriented band (which later evolved into the Pharaohs and then Earth, Wind, & Fire) who explore soul, jazz, and Middle Eastern rhythms. A radical and intense recording. This is a live performance recorded on February 25, 1968, at the Afro-Arts Theater, a cultural center in Chicago operated by Cohran from 1967-1970. "The personnel and instrumentation are almost identical to Cohran’s ‘On the Beach’ session. This historic concert was originally an LP issued on Cohran’s Zulu label. Original copies of that record are very rare collector’s items and sell for hundreds of dollars. Kelan Phil Cohran is an unsung hero of jazz history and a cosmic treasure. He played with Sun Ra in the late 1950s and early ‘60s and was a co-founder of the world famous AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians)."
