Jazz
In 1991 Trumpter/Composer Malachi Thompson created Africa Brass out of the tradition of the old New Orleans brass bands. This is no repertory ensemble, but a musical extention of the spirit/energy that ended one era and began another.
Thompson has had plenty of experience working with brass. He was an original member of Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy and part of the New York Hot Trumpet Repertory Company, a group that featured Ola Dara, Stanton Davis, Lester Bowie and Wynton Marsalis. Thompson co-led Brass Proud from 1975-80 with trumpeter Norman Spiller, a band that featured four to eight trumpets.
Buddy Bolden's Rag takes you on a musical tour of the jazz landscape that quantum leaps between styles and eras. Howard Reich, writing for the Chicago Tribune described Thompson and Africa Brass accurately when he wrote, "Many jazz artists attempt to fuse past, present and future, but few have done so as eloquently...Thompson explores historic and ancient sources of jazz while looking boldly to its future."

An excellent if underrated trumpeter, Malachi Thompson has played in free settings and recorded abstract tributes to jazz's possible founder, Buddy Bolden. Thompson grew up in Chicago. After hearing Count Basie's Orchestra at a concert when he was 11, he persuaded his parents to get him a trumpet. By 1969, Thompson was a member of the AACM and working in diverse settings ranging from free jazz to R&B. After gaining a college degree at Governor's State University, he moved to New York in 1974. As a freelancer, Thompson worked with the Sam Wooding big band, Sam Rivers, Joe Henderson, Kalaparusha McIntyre, Jackie McLean, David Murray, and many others. He was a co-leader of Brass Proud (1975-1980), an important part of Lester Bowie's Hot Trumpeter Repertory Company, and later on a member of Brass Fantasy. Thompson spent periods of time living in New York, Washington D.C., and Vienna, Austria. Although knocked out of action for a few years by lymphona in the late '80s, he survived the bout. In the 1990s, Thompson headed the Freebop Band and Africa Brass, having relocated back to Chicago. An adventurous player with a strong sense of jazz's history, Malachi Thompson has led recording sessions for RA (1972 and 1981) and regularly for Delmark since the mid-'80s.
