Phil Ranelin - Live In Los Angeles: 1978-1981

Phil Ranelin — The Found Tapes: Live in Los Angeles

4LP box set featuring the visionary trombonist!

The Found Tapes: Live in Los Angeles is a 4LP box set from Tribe Records co-founder Phil Ranelin, celebrating a trio of LA club performances from 1978-1981 which remain especially significant to the visionary trombonist. Backed by a young Billy Childs on piano, Ralph Penland on drums, and Tony Dumas on bass, Ranelin was in peak form as a player and bandleader during this period.

This is particularly true of one specific outing at the now shuttered Maiden Voyage in Los Angeles on July 19, 1981, which is presented in full within this set. The audio was restored from decades old cassette tapes which have never been heard until now.

A master trombonist of the J.J. Johnson tradition, Ranelin's career has spanned more than five decades with 11 records as a solo artist, four as a Freddie Hubbard sideman, session recordings for Motown, and work with artists ranging from Stevie Wonder and Ella Fitzgerald to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Telefon Tel Aviv.
