Musicians on this recording include Don Myrick and Louis Satterfield, who went on to play with Earth, Wind, & Fire, Chicago guitar legend Pete Cosey, who went on to play with Miles Davis, and the great Master Henry Gibson who went on to play with Curtis Mayfield.

Renowned trombonist and co-founder of Detroit's famed TRIBE Records, Phil Ranelin, is back with his first album in a decade. A master trombonist of the J.J. Johnson tradition, Ranelin's career has spanned over five decades with ten records as a solo artist, four as a Freddie Hubbard sideman, session recordings for Motown, and work with artists ranging from Stevie Wonder and Ella Fitzgerald to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Telefon Tel Aviv. At 82 years old, Ranelin proves that he still has much to offer with InchInfinite ExpressionsInch, a work that showcases his unique style both as a player and composer.
