about

This production of music from the Tribe features various concepts of
musical families living in Detroit communities and surrounding areas.
Detroit is known all over the world for Be-Bop Jazz as well as Motown, R&B, Soul and other genres of music. This latest production and offering illuminates the African diaspora whom emanated from West Africa, such as Guinea- Bissau and Senegal, which are part of the culture fabric of Detroit. Also, we are reflecting the intellectual ideas on education and expanded consciousness of the indigent communities and the future of the youth in Detroit as well as the world. Pathe
Jassi vocalist and bass player, from Senegal Africa created SIERA and
SAMOULÉN KHALÉ YI, that talks about love and the future of our youth. The compositions I wrote for this entree of music was well supported by very skilled musicians, who brought my ideals to life. The featured composers such as my wife Pamela Wise and Rev. Mbiyu Chui (William K. Moore) created inspiring, prolific musical proses, such as music compositions with poetry. They created “Revolution” that summaries contemporary events and realities of today’s and contrasting with tradition. Also Rev. Chui expresses the idea in poetry that we are the “Educators”. Miche Braden sings an original composition,”Get Up Off Your Knees," written by yours
truly, which expresses self determination and taking control of one’s destiny and future. Pathe Jassi joins her with chants of creo Portages. The Tribe production is an expression of work that reflects a positive projection of the future. Our master percussionist Gregory “Greco” Freeman made his transition from this earthly realm after recording this project. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

A very interesting album. At a few places I keep asking myself: Was this composed by Arnold Schönberg (or his disciples)? Anyway, I'm all for skilled musicians exploring the boundary (if one exists) between jazz and classical. Thumbs up! jyrki63
