Phil Cohran, Legacy – African Skies

The long-awaited reissue of Kelan Phil Cohran & Legacy’s spiritual jazz masterpiece African Skies. African Skies is a holy grail record for vinyl collectors. The thousands who’ve long sought their own copy will welcome this reissue as the definitive version of this profound recording.

Cohran was a mentor to artists such as Earth, Wind & Fire, Chaka Khan and The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble - a Chicago-based brass band whose members include 8 of his sons.

“Cohran’s discography is shockingly small, and [African Skies] is essential for fans and newcomers to his work alike.” - The Wire

Pressed in the US on 180-gram black vinyl, with OBI and laminated Stoughton Tip-on gatefold jacket. A four-page insert includes newly unearthed photos from the Cohran family and original program notes from the Adler Planetarium.
