Tribe - Rebirth (2009)

Detroit deep jazz legends Wendell Harrison, Phil Ranelin, Marcus Belgrave and Doug Hammond collaborate with Detroit hero Carl Craig to explore more deep afro-jazz territory!
Pioneering techno Dj, Carl Craig has been weaving a jazz thread through the fabric of his music for many years, including his work with the Innerzone Orchestra in the mid 1990's as well as his critically accliamed 'Detoit Experiment' which brought together jazz, funk, Motown, Hip Hop and electronic musicians. Carl Craig has reunited the original Tribe members on 'Rebirth' aswell as inviting new artists along the way; keyboardist Amp Fiddler, drummers Karriem Riggins and Gayelynn McKinney (Harold's daughter!), bassists Ralphe Armstrong and many more. The results are amazing with Carl Craig adding his futuristic space-like synths to Phil Ranelin's trombone-led classic 'Vibes From The Tribe', 'Rebirth' retains its original funk infused spritual jazz magic first created in the 1970's whilst incorporating a fresh new sound!
Highly Recommended!!
