47th Street is an album by the American jazz trumpeter Malachi Thompson, released by the Delmark label in 1998.
[1][2][3][4] The album formed part of Thompson's efforts to revitalize the Sutherland Hotel one of the last remaining links to the 47th Street Jazz Scene in Chicago.
[5] AllMusic reviewer Tim Sheridan stated that "Thompson's terrific ode to a unique time and place in African-American history is filled with exciting musical ideas while also remaining accessible".
[6] In JazzTimes, Duck Baker observed: "He adapts his playing, with a minimum of fine tuning, to a gamut of styles from blues and swing to hard bop and free jazz.
The supporting cast, while too extensive to credit individually, is never less than excellent ... A proud statement by all concerned".
