Message From The Tribe – An Anthology Of Tribe Records 1972 to 1977 (with bonus Tribe magazine)

Out Of Stock

An incredible look at one of the greatest independent jazz labels of the 70s – Detroit's legendary Tribe Records, home to some of the hippest spiritual jazz of the decade! Tribe was a really unique little imprint – not just a place where creative musicians were allowed to freely express themselves, but also a key cultural force on the local scene – one that's wonderfully documented by Soul Jazz for this set! The music is a great bridge of 70s styles – kind of a link between the free-thinking ideas of the AACM in Chicago, the loft scene in New York, and some of the more ambitious artists of the Strata East scene – and although the package features work recorded under the names of a few different leaders, there's a really unified feel to the music, given that many of the groups share a few players. CD set comes with an amazing booklet – and titles include "Beneficent", "What We Need", and "Farewell To The Welfare (parts 1 & 2)" by Tribe – plus "Tons & Tons Of BS" by Wendell Harrison, "Space Odyssey" by Marcus Belgrave, "La Margarita" by The Mixed Bag, "Space 2" by David Durrah, "Sounds From The Village" by Phil Ranelin, and "Moves" and "Wake Up Brothers" by Doug Hammand".
