''Poem for Malcolm'' is a jazz album by Archie Shepp. Recorded in Paris in August 1969 only two days after ''Yasmina, a Black Woman'', it again features musicians from the Art Ensemble of Chicago. This time, the tone is resolutely set to avant garde and free jazz, with a political edge in the all but explicit tribute to Malcolm X. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "This LP from the English Affinity LP is a mixed bag. Best is 'Rain Forrest' on which tenor saxophonist Archie Shepp, in a collaboration with trombonist Grachan Moncur III, pianist Vince Benedetti, bassist Malachi Favors, and drummer Philly Joe Jones, perform some stirring free jazz; the interplay between Shepp and Jones is particularly exciting. On a four-and-a-half minute 'Oleo,' Shepp "battles" some bebop with fellow tenor Hank Mobley, but the other two tracks, a workout for the leader's erratic soprano on 'Mamarose,' and his emotional recitation on 'Poem for Malcolm,' are much less interesting, making this a less than essential release despite 'Rain Forrest'."〔Yanow, S. (Allmusic review ), accessed April 6, 2009.〕 It was originally issued on CD by Affinity (paired with ''Yasmina, a Black Woman'') mastered from a vinyl source and later reissued by Charly (also paired with ''Yasmina, a Black Woman'') from the original master tapes. ==Track listing== # "Rain Forrest/Oleo" (A.
