label,

lights
of
America’s
1970s
jazz
underground,
receives
the
Now-Again
reissue
treatment.
This

your

in
the
music
and
story
of
one
of
the
most
meaningful,
local
movements
of
the
20th
Century
Black
American
experience,
one
that
expanded
outwards
towards
the
cosmos.
In
the
words
of
the
collective
themselves,
“Music
is
the
healing
force
of
the
universe.”

of
the
Tribe,
in
a
compelling
story
that
delves
not
just
into
the
history
of
the
label
and
its
principals,
but
into
the
story
of
Black
American
empowerment
in
the
latter
half
of
the
20th
Century.
The
booklet
features
never-before-seen
archival
photos
and
rare
ephemera
from
Tribe’s
mid-1970s
heyday.
