Malachi Thompson – 47th Street
Delmark DE 497
Compact Disc (1997)

47th Street is Malachi Thompson’s musical tribute to a vibrant period of black Chicago history; when 47th street was the epicenter of the South Side’s cultural and economic life, and the Sutherland Hotel and the Regal Theater hosted the jazz greats of the first two-thirds of this century. Some of this music was written for the Charles Smith play, The Sutherland.
