Yet another new musical direction has emerged from the Detroit rock scene in the Tribal Sinfonia. Combining basic rock with their soul and jazz experience, the Tribe has created an unquestionably powerful sound that impresses and antagonizes their listeners into a demand for more.
For eighteen months the Tribe served as a backup group to Rodney Knight. Known as the Soul Sextet, they became fixtures on the soul circuit of the Motor City, playing teen spots, young adult night clubs and with national r’n’b acts such as the Rascals. But the rhythm and blues approach was too limiting to their diversified talents and a split was inevitable. Thus, last winter, Rodney. Knight left the group.
Changing their name to Tribal Sinfonia the band began progressing in a manner suited to their individual tastes and talents. They’ve retained much that was good in their soul sound yet diversified it to include all of the other talents of the members. The sound now draws from the rock energies of Danny Okamotu, the soul experience of Danny Falzon, the big band jazz of Larry Nemzin, the avantgarde reed work of Armand Angeloni and the studio background of Jerry Hubbard.
