Vibes From The Tribe Phil Ranelin SKU: PRCD 4008 Barcode: 5060149622803 34.00 £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure Released Date: 1st January 2018 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Add to basket Reserve Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Re-mastering by: Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London Pure Pleasure Records does their customary superior job of vinyl 180-gram re-mastering. The stereo separation is flawless. The wide range of Ranelin’s trombone tonal flexibility is captured with vibrancy. The lower end of the mix is consistent and forceful. This is an interesting jazz album by a cultural visionary. Phil Ranelin was a session trombonist recording with the likes of Steve Wonder before setting up the Tribe label with Wendell Harrisonin Detroit. Like other contemporary artist run labels like Strata East and Black Jazz, Tribe releases were characterised by a heady mix of post Coltrane free jazz, soul and funk, all informed by a strong political conscience. Vibes From the Tribe is a fine record. The title track is lusciously, greasily funky and stands in pretty stark contrast to the kind of airbrushed fusion that was in vogue at the time. “Sounds from the Village” is even better (and dirtier), showcasing Ranelin’s oily trombone gymnastics and a viciously fuzzed guitar solo. “Wife” features Phil’s singing and is oddly reminiscent of Frank Zappa’s writing on Sleep Dirt; an affecting, snaking melody topped off with a beautiful solo from the leader, whose playing here has the grace of Bob Brookmeyer coupled with the agility of George Lewis. “He The One We All Knew” is the obligatory Coltrane tribute and is a trip into the kind of groove based free playing typical of Pharoah Sanders, though only really picks up when the band launch into post bop swing mode in the last six minutes or so, provoking another fine Ranelin solo. Bassist Ralph Armstrong is particularly strong here; his brief solo passages are a wonder of agility and tough lyricism that make me wonder why he’s not better known. Other highlights come from the mellifluous flute of Wendell Harrison. Beautiful stuff, and it’s good to know that Ranelin is still at work even now. Essential.
