2023 restock. Mad About Records present a reissue of
Malachi Thompson
's
The Seventh Son
, originally released on RA Records in 1980. A true jazz holy grail. For anyone collecting spiritual jazz, this reissue is simply not to be missed. Malachi Thompson moved to Chicago as a child and credited his interest in the trumpet when he was 11 years old. Malachi worked in the rhythm and blues scene on Chicago's South Side as a teen. In 1968, he joined the
Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians
(
AACM
), spending some time in the AACM big band. Thompson worked with saxophonists
Joe Henderson
,
Jackie McLean
,
Frank Foster
, and
Archie Shepp
, among other musicians while living in New York City. He formed his free bop band in 1978, and eventually relocated to Washington, D.C. Thompson also worked with
Lester Bowie
's
Hot Trumpets Repertory Company
and formed
Africa Brass
, a group inspired by traditional New Orleans brass bands. With a goal of preserving the Sutherland Theater on Chicago's South Side, Thompson founded the Sutherland Community Arts Initiative, a non-profit corporation, in 1991. He also wrote incidental music for a play about the theater. Informed in 1989 that he suffered from T-cell lymphoma and had one year to live, Thompson claimed he was healed by radiation and reading about jazz. He died in Chicago, Illinois from a relapse of his cancer in 2006.
