Wendell Harrison was born in Detroit in 1942 where he began formal jazz studies for piano, clarinet and tenor saxophone. At 14, while still in high school, Harrison started performing & recording professionally with artists such as Marvin Gaye, Grant Green, Sun Ra, Hank Crawford... and many others. In 1971, Harrison began teaching music at Metro Arts (a multi-arts complex for youth) where he also connected with Marcus Belgrave, Harold McKinney and Phil Ranelin... soon after they formed the (now legendary) Afro-centric TRIBE record label and artist collective. TRIBE used the Metro Arts complex as a vehicle to convey a growing black political consciousness. Wendell Harrison also published the very popular TRIBE magazine, a publication dedicated to local and national social and political issues, as well as featuring artistic contributions such as poetry and visual pieces. In 1978 Harrison and McKinney co-founded REBIRTH, a non-profit jazz performance and education organization, in which many notable jazz artists have participated. Around the same time Wendell Harrison also created the WENHA record label and publishing company, which released many of his (now classic) recordings as well as those of other artists, such as Phil Ranelin, Doug Hammond and Reggie Fields (The Real ShooBeeDoo). In the early 1990s, Wendell Harrison was awarded the title of "Jazz Master" by Arts Midwest. This distinction led Harrison to collaborate with fellow honorees and gave him the chance to tour throughout the United States, Middle East and Africa. Even to this day Wendell Harrison's recordings for the TRIBE, WENHA and REBIRTH labels have a large worldwide fanbase. It is on WEHHA in 1990 that Harrison released (and self-produced) the opus: 'Fly By Night' which we are proudly presenting you today. 'Fly By Night' is a monster of an album featuring an all-star line-up that includes Doug Hammond (Mingus, Lonnie Liston Smith) on drums, Kirk Lightsey (Chet Baker, Calvin Keys) on piano, Cecil McBee (John Hicks, Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane) on bass, Jaribu Shahid (Sun Ra) on contrabass and Pamela Wise (Tribe) on Piano. Harrison is killing it here with this selected ensemble (guys he grew up with in Detroit in the late 50's, when hard bop was the thing and Miles and Coltrane were the heroes of the day). This group of talented veterans are taking this classic album to unseen heights. On 'Fly By Night' the gloves come off... no more jazzy-funk or poppy-jazz. Wendell picks up his tenor for one tune but the remainder of the sessions he performs on clarinet. Wendell's mastery coaxes the sweet piquant sound of the instrument and as it re-emerges in the contemporary jazz scene. The eight handpicked tunes demonstrate the fertile new directions Wendell Harrison has been working on, combing standards with a fresh new approach. On these amazing recordings (recorded at the Rebirth Studios in Detroit) the listener is invited to experience a synthesis of what has been and what is now. The record shows Wendell's trademark proficiency. All of the above makes this incredible record both timeless and as relevant today as it was back when it was initially released. Tidal Waves Music now proudly presents 'Fly By Night' for the FIRST TIME on vinyl (the album was only released as a limited compact disc back in the early nineties). This unique record comes as a deluxe 180g WHITE North American vinyl edition (strictly limited to 500 copies) with obi strip. This vinyl edition also features the original painted front cover artwork by Virgil Grady (known for his work with Tribe records) and back photography by acclaimed Detroit scene photographer & author Barbara Barefield, whose work has appeared in many renowned publications such as The New York Times, LA Times, People magazine and countless others.

I absolutely love this black cowboy shirt! The first time I put it on, I could feel the quality. The material is comfortable but sturdy, and the embroidery on the front and sleeves is just beautiful. It gives that true Western vibe while still looking classy and modern. What I really like most is the fit — it’s sharp and clean but still gives me room to move and stay comfortable. I paired it with my boots and belt, and the whole outfit came together perfectly. I’ve gotten so many compliments wearing this shirt, and it definitely makes me feel confident and put together. Whether I’m dressing up for an event or just want to rock a casual cowboy look, this shirt never misses. It’s definitely one of my favorite pieces in my closet now!

Too loose
Color: Black (Retro Rose), Size: Small
I really like this shirt, but unfortunately it is way too loose for a size S. It looks like a XL. A shirt like that should be tight.

Slick White Shirt
The shirt is actually pretty nice. The material is a bit thicker without being heavy so it isn't see through. The material is also soft and silky on the skin. I ordered a large as I am somewhat between a medium and a large depending on the clothing. The large was a bit big on me. It didn't really have any shape to it. I am 5'10" about 170 and the shirt was too big. If you normally wear a large I would say stick with the large but if you are between sizes size down. I did wash and dry it to try to get some of the wrinkles out and drying it got a decent amount of the wrinkles out. The problem is, and why I took off 1 star is that I assume drying it caused the material to kind of bunch a little around the buttons. The shirt just isn't smooth/flat anymore around the buttons. Otherwise it's a nice shirt I'd recommend for things like resort wear or a summer business casual party.
