Cohran, Philip - Armageddon

05-Katalyst 696
The re-discovery and excavation of the extraordinary musical work of this man's work continues, with this fourth CD release on Katalyst. Like the others, this is really surprisingly advanced sounding 'AACM African American heritage meets psychedelia' ensemble and which consists of a live recording from 1968.
"Yet another masterpiece from the archives of Phil Cohran. Armageddon was conceived in 1958 and written down in 1963. After performing with Sun Ra and benefiting from the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Phil Cohran's compositions changed decidedly, and he began to focus on cosmology and culture. This particular performance was recorded live at the Afro Arts Theater at 3900 S. Drexel in Chicago on February 11th, 1968. It has never been released and practically unheard in over 40 years."
