interested in music history and great music in general. We hope that you
will be able to join us for this rare performance from Detroit/L.A. jazz
legend, PHIL RANELIN. This will be his first Chicago performance in over 15
years!

Hefty Records, Empty Bottle and Silver Wrapper Promotions are proud to
welcome celebrated jazz trombonist Phil Ranelin to Chicago after a
fifteen-year absence. Returning to the stage for one night only, Ranelin and
his band, Tribe Renaissance, will play two sets alongside DJ Supreme Court
(Sheer Magic Crew, Reckless Records, Soul Night monthly @ Danny?s) and
Nicole Mitchell?s Black Earth Ensemble (Dreamtime, Thrill Jockey).
Having collaborated with such contemporaries as Freddie Hubbard and Wes
Montgomery early on in his career, Ranelin co-founded Detroit?s Tribe
collective (along with fellow conspirators: Wendell Harrison, Marcus
Belgrave, amongst others), a highly influential organization that championed
sociopolitical activism and musicianship within the Detroit community. The
spirit of Tribe manifested itself most strongly in two of Ranelin?s
releases; The Time Is Now! (1974) and Vibes From The Tribe (1976) both
imparted a sense of urgency, idealistic rebellion, and a longing for peace
and unity that could only be conveyed through a bass trombone. Reissued in
2001 by Hefty Records, these albums have gone on to a new audience of
listeners. Later that year, Hefty also released a fantastic remix project,
Phil Ranelin: Remixes (2001), which saw the reissues being reinterpreted by
contemporary admirers of Ranelin?s legacy. Remix contributions came from
underground greats like Morgan Geist (Metro Area), Prefuse 73, El-P, Kirk
DeGiorgio, Jan Jelinek, Telefon Tel Aviv, Slicker, amongst others.

PRESS QUOTES FOR PHIL RANELIN:
Back in the 70s trombonist Phil Ranelin was a key figure in Detroit's
Tribe--a diverse collective, akin to the AACM and Saint Louis's Black Artist
Guild, that operated as a band, record label, and magazine publisher. Recent
reissues on the British label Soul Jazz and Chicago's Hefty Records have
cast new light on Tribe's music, a freewheeling mix of postbop and funk that
takes its cues from Miles Davis's early electric period as well as the
controlled free jazz of the AACM.
-Peter Margasak, Music Critic, CHICAGO READER

An icon since the ?70s, this legendary African-American jazz trombonist
returns to Chicago after a 15-year wait; expect the place to be packed.
