Jazz / Free Jazz, Free Funk
In 2001, Detroit jazz aficionados were given the gift of the decade with the reissue of Phil Ranelin's 1974 and 1976 records The Time Is Now and Vibes From the Tribe. But Hefty records, the label responsible for the reissues, didn't stop there. Remixes collects some of the most prominent names in indie electronic music and gives them the original tapes from both of Ranelin's albums to create some of the most inventive jazz/electronic experiments since Bitches Brew. Of immediate note are the very organic, non-electronic mixes by Kirk DeGiorgio and Morgan Geist. That's not to say that the songs remain untouched, but rather they consist of less cut-up, beat-driven pastiches than one might expect on a remix disc. Still, the electronically noodled versions are extremely welcome here. Jan Jelinek lends his clicky trademark to "Sounds From the Village," as does Slicker (aka John Hughes III) on "For the Children." The Notwist's Micha Acher creates a stunning new mix for "Vibes From the Tribe," introducing some new percussion sounds into the warm saxophone skronk. And Company Flow's El-P contributes a rather moody take on "Time Is Running Out," tempering the softer sounds on the record quite nicely. He also eschews any MC-ing on the track. Overall, the Phil Ranelin Remixes project is a wonderful interpretation of some already-wonderful music. ~ Ken Taylor, All Music Guide
Phil Ranelin
Active Decade: '70s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Avant-Garde Jazz, Free Funk, Free Jazz, Fusion, Post-Bop, Soul-Jazz
Trombonist Phil Ranelin was one of the Detroit jazz scene's unsung heroes, releasing several excellent, politicized albums that blended post-Coltrane avant-garde jazz, post-Bitches Brew psychedelia, hard bop, funk, and African rhythms. Ranelin was born and raised in Indianapolis, and later moved to New York and then Detroit, where he started out as a session man for Motown artists like Stevie Wonder. In 1971, along with saxophonist Wendell Harrison, Ranelin co-founded a band, magazine, and record label conglomeration known as the Tribe, which used experimental jazz as a vehicle to raise African-American political consciousness. That year, Ranelin also issued his first album as a leader, Message From the Tribe. 1974's The Time Is Now! continued Ranelin's accessible avant leanings, but 1976's Vibes From the Tribe pushed more firmly into groovy jazz-funk territory. The Tribe organization folded in 1978, after which Ranelin played with Freddie Hubbard for several years. In 1986, Ranelin led a date for Rebirth titled Love Dream, and ten years later released the self-produced album A Close Encounter of the Very Best Kind -- which featured his new Los Angeles-based sextet -- on Lifeforce. Though Ranelin's albums didn't get much exposure outside of his home base, they found their way onto the acid jazzrare-groove collector's market, creating an underground buzz around Ranelin's music. In 2001, Tortoise drummer John McEntire remixed and remastered The Time Is Now! and Vibes From the Tribe, which were reissued by the Hefty label. The following year, a full-fledged electronic Remixes collection was released.
