About this product

I never dreamed that I would be able to listen to an unreleased Tribe album in the 2020s. A phantom work, including 'Farewell To The Welfare, ' released on 7-inch in 1975, was discovered in the form of an album. Not only the title track, which is the epitome of Tribe funk (the mix is different from the 7-inch!), but also Harrison's representative compositions 'Where Am I' and 'Tons And Tons Of BS, ' which were later re-recorded, come into sharp focus in the album conception. This is the greatest discovery in the history of independent black jazz.

It could only happen in Detroit. It was in the ashes of this Detroit that Tribe Records was born - a community-driven where artists took control of releasing their own music. Two original founding members, saxophonist Wendell Harrison and trombonist Phil Ranelin, are still active in the Detroit jazz community and act as global ambassadors for Tribe's legacy. In the years that followed, the path blazed by Tribe became a model for generations of independent artists. With Ranelin and Harrison's upcoming joint on the Jazz Is Dead series, they continue Tribe's mission to provide Incha new dimension in cultural awarenessInch.
