ABOUT THIS ITEM

Tribe in Detroit in the early 1970s were born out of the ashes of a fallen city. After Motown, the boom of the car industry, and the advances of civil rights in the 1960s, came a decade of governmental abandonment, high unemployment and inner-city violence and urban decay. Tribe (Phil Ranelin, Wendell Harrison, Harold McKinney, Marcus Belgrave) was a collective brought together to fight these negative forces. In the seven years it existed in Detroit, Tribe produced seminal deep jazz and funk albums, published Tribe magazine (featuring local community, music and arts issues) and ran numerous education workshops. This album features the best of the seminal music produced by this legendary Detroit collective - funky forward-looking jazz grooves.
