Another jazz gem unearthed from the Strata archives by Amir Abdullah for his magnificent 180 Proof imprint. From garage rock roots as a founding member of the Woolies, to tours backing the Four Tops, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and Mary Wilson, Ron English has enjoyed a storied life in music, effortlessly moving between genres with chameleon-like malleability. English found his calling with 1970s work on Detroit’s Tribe and Strata labels that blended styles such as funk, be-bop, post be-bop and the freedom sound of the jazz avant-garde. Recorded with a small ensemble of Strata brethren including Kenny Cox, Lyman Woodard, Larry Nozero and co-producer Charles Moore.
