The detroit experiment is the result of a live jam and is produced in the legendary White Room studio in Detroit with muscicians like Allan Barnes (Blackbyrds), Marcus Belgrave, Regina Carter (jazz violist), Al turner ( played with Anita Baker), Jeremy Ellis ( also played keys for productions by carl Craig, Mike Clark, Alton Miller) etc. The output of these sessions is edited by John Smerek, Amp Fiddler, the engineer of the sessions. After that Carl Craig took his work and 'added a taste of future to the musical past', helped by drummer/producer Karriem Higgins. The result is a blend of fresh jazzfunk workouts, organic housetracks and a new take on older tracks (Amp Fiddler singing 'Too high' !). Excellent!! Tip!!
