Premierguitar. Philip Cohran's Artistic Heritage Ensemble featuring Pete Cosey- "Malcolm Little" (1968) This ones for David Benyahia. The Elektrik Mud Cats - Mannish Boy. S/T by PHILIP COHRAN AND THE ARTISTIC HERITAGE ENSEMBLE. Chicago, Ilinois must have been an amazing place in 1967.
This reissue on Jamie Hodge's exciting new Aestuarium imprint feels as significant as the discovery of gravity, once experienced, you just can't imagine life without it. Cohran left Sun Ra's Arkestra in the early sixties, to pursue his interest in spirit music, through an amplified frankiphone, also known as kalimba, mbira, sanza or thumb piano. His workshops held at the 64th Street Beach House quickly became legendary affairs. Chess Records was beginning to experience hard times anew, work for their stellar session players was diminishing, players like Donald Myrick, Charles Handy, Charles Williams, Bob Crowder and many more soon became regulars.
This band eventually parted company with Cohran, first becoming more conventionally funky as The Pharoahs (check your Luv'n'Haight reissues) before achieving global domination as Earth Wind & Fire under Maurice White's guidance. Method Of Defiance - Hidden Killer (ft. Black Sun Empire, Graham Haynes & Pete Cosey) Burning Ambulance.
Jazz Departments: Pete Cosey: Guitar Catharsis - By Bill Milkowski. Electric Mud may have outraged some of the blues purists who had purchased Waters’ acoustic blues classic, More Real Folk Blues, just a year before, but Chess’ gamble paid off.
Many of the same rock fans who that same year purchased copies of Jeff Beck’s Truth, Cream’s Wheels of Fire, Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland and Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes’ Journey To the Center of the Mind did indeed pick up on the psychedelic renditions of Waters classics like “She’s Alright,” “I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man” and “Mannish Boy,” along with a curious cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Let’s Spend the Night Together.” Following up on the crossover success of Electric Mud, Marshall Chess decided to apply the same psychedelic formula to another legendary blues artist on the Chess roster, one Chester Burnett (aka Howlin’ Wolf). But the Wolf was not having any of it. As Cosey says of that memorable session: “Wolf was outraged when we were cutting. He discovered feedback around the same time.
Interboro Rock Tribune. The Pharoahs - Awakening (1971) Long Live Pete Cosey! I use to work as a stock boy in a local liquor store in my neighborhood on Chicago’s south side.
I was just a young boy of about 14 with a summer job my mother hooked me up with. At the time I was totally enthralled by the guitar, having found this new ability to express emotional places that words could never reach. Females liked it too and being a shy type, that fact just fixed it as an irrepressible passion. It was also a way to pimp up my identity in the hood, where you better have something you can do well to secure some respect, so when you are walking down the street and dude calls your name, he and you know why. This set me out on a course of searching out enough dough to buy a better axe so I could negociate the next steps of this awkward pubescent terrane. Yi ole elixir devoid of fruit or sustenance, grape “pop” additives piped into the consciousness of the working poor on billboards and benches everywhere near you! That is what I saw in some of those fellows eyes.
