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.

One of the greatest books I’ve ever read
Format: Audiobook
I wish I could have met this man. I began having OBE’s about 8 years before I read the journeys trilogy. When he talked about the out of body simulations my head nearly popped off. I’ve had a few of those and never found them described in detail anywhere else. This is the greatest book and most profound trilogy on personal spiritual exploration and out of body travel ever written. Period. Such a gem and so incredible to be experienced outside the traditional contexts of yoga and meditation. A true original work. Thank you Bob. These 3 books changed my life and made me finally enquire “what is under the hood” in an OBE. What transports the astral body or consciousness from one dimension to another?

This is a must-read for all those who are seeking answers.
Format: Paperback
If you can read only one of Robert Monroe's 3 books ("Journeys Out of the Body," "Far Journeys" and "Ultimate Journey"), "Ultimate Journey" is the one to read. Monroe's books chronicle his amazing learning experiences as his ability to travel out of the body develops and his capability to remember and to put these odysseys into words increases. Without laboring over material covered in the first two books, Monroe sums up his earlier adventures and then writes about his most recent and significant discoveries on this, his spiritual journey to understanding. If you have ever wondered if there is a God, why the Bible says that God is Love and in another place, shows God to be a vengeful being who orders the killing of many people, "Ultimate Journey" and the lessons taught to Monroe in his out-of-body state will help to clear up these questions. To say that "Ultimate Journey" will give you a whole new perspective on life, death and what lies beyond is an understatement. This is a must-read for those who are seeking answers! And, if at all possible, read all 3 books in order. "Far Journeys" is definately the most difficult to read, since much of it reflects Monroe's efforts to translate non-verbal communications from non-humans into English. But the information in that book is voluminous and well worth the effort to read it. Happy reading, fellow seekers!

YOU can actually LEARN to do this!
Format: Paperback
"Eavesdropping on Animals” by George Bumann really was a welcome break for me as I spend so much time outside in Nature. George is also amazing at being able to read Nature in a way I had never seen before. His insight via really listening & paying attention to everything around him, is so precise - he can literally know where animals are without seeing them. I got this book mainly because HE wrote it & I knew it would be interesting. The thing that surprised me was he actually teaches you how to do what he does (ie: know exactly where a wolf pack is traveling by hearing a certain coyote call & knowing the terrain). I started simply by really paying attention to all of the bird songs going on outside my window very early each morning & could finally hear ones that were repetitively there & was able to figure out what they meant by getting outside & sitting on my patio as I drank my tea. If you LOVE NATURE, you would so get into this book. It’s a great teaching guide, plus his stories are so cool! Entertaining & informative to read.

Will forever change your experiences in nature!
Format: Hardcover
I am an instructor in animal language in the wildlife ecology department at two leading universities and I can attest that George is an expert animal whisperer/linguist. I've had the pleasure of knowing him and hearing his stories, and this book is an outstanding gateway into understanding the behavior of animals. It will reveal a whole new world to you every time you step outside, whether you live in an urban area or next to a wilderness.
