Born in Detroit in 1942, Wendell Harrison is a remarkable figure in the world of jazz. He began his formal studies on piano, clarinet, and tenor saxophone, and by the age of 14, he was already recording and performing with legendary artists like Marvin Gaye and Sun Ra. His journey in music led him to co-found the influential Afro-centric TRIBE record label, where he played a crucial role in promoting black political consciousness through art.
In 1985, Harrison released the monumental album Birth Of A Fossil, which we are thrilled to offer as a limited edition 180g vinyl. This reissue features an all-star lineup, including Dennis Rowland on vocals and Duke Billingslea on bass guitar. The album is a beautiful blend of soul jazz and funk, showcasing Harrison’s exceptional skills on saxophone, flute, and clarinet. Fans of jazz will appreciate the timeless quality of this record, which remains relevant today.
