Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating entirely outside the mainstream music industry, the Detroit-based trombonist and co-founder of the Tribe collective delivers a powerful statement of independent black jazz. The deeply spiritual, avant-garde improvisations are firmly grounded in underlying jazz-funk rhythms, reflecting the socio-political struggles and communal aspirations of mid-70s African American artists.
