PHILIP COHRAN AND THE ARTISTIC HERITAGE ENSEMBLE
Malcolm X Memorial (A Tribute In Music)
(Mississippi) Used LP $79.74
“His life chronicled in four movements through avant-jazz and blues and improv-tinged free-bop. From the innocence of ‘Malcolm Little’ to the tension in ‘El Hajj Malik El Shabazz,’ Cohran’s ensemble carries and transports the listener, even though this trip is a half century in our past. Highest recommendation for reflective sonic escapes.” 2008 reissue of 1968 LP
PHILIP COHRAN AND THE ARTISTIC HERITAGE ENSEMBLE
Philip Cohran and The Artistic Heritage Ensemble
(Aestuarium) Used LP $125.00
The Artistic Heritage Ensemble’s sound largely centers around melodies from Cohran’s signature frankiphone or “space harp,” an amplified African thumb piano, which made its debut on Sun Ra’s Angels and Demons at Play. “On the Beach” in particular sounds like a deep, meditative counterpart to Ra’s “Tiny Pyramids.” 2006 reissue.
