2. Livin' In A New Day (Spaceways Radio Edit by Carlos Nino)

“1971, in Detroit, trombonist Phil Ranelin and saxophonist Wendell Harrison started a band, a recording company, and a magazine, and called them the Tribe. This legendary political, social, and aesthetic collective also included key members like drummer Doug Hammond, trumpeter Marcus Belgrave, Pianist Harold McKinney, Drummer / Percussionist Roy Brooks, Poetry group The Black Messengers, Vocalists Spanky Wilson & Leon Thomas and many others. The collective released a number of highly collectable albums including records like Phil Ranelin's "Vibes From The Tribe," Marcus Belgrave's "Gemini II," Harold McKinney's "Voices And Rhythms Of The Creative Profile," Doug Hammond and David Durrah's "Sea of Nurnen," and Wendell Harrison's "An Evening with the Devil" - many of these releases have been reissued or licensed in the US, Europe and Japan by labels like Hefty, Soul Jazz, P Vine and Ubiquity. Given the broad nature and appeal of these recordings they have become highly praised and sort out by collectors of jazz, funk and electronic music.”

In 2007, Carl Craig re-assembled the remaining core living original members of the Tribe collective as well as new musicians like Kareem Riggins, John Arnold etc, to create a new album tha twill be released in 2008. The record will feature classic Tribe material including a brand new arrangement of the Tribe classic “Vibes from The Tribe,” as well as new compositions written especially for the record. But this is the first release, on Planet E’s sister label Community projects, written and produced by founding member Phil Ranelin. The main track is featured on the A side, while LA’s Carlos nino (Built An Ark, AmmonContact etc) did a edit for the flip.
