Biography
Record labels and press release writers tend to overuse words like "special" but sometimes only "special" will do. Dwight Trible is a legend on the quiet, a retrospective waiting to happen. Over a remarkable career, this Los Angeles native has worked with everyone from Bobby Hutcherson and Charles Lloyd to Harry Belafonte. He is the vocalist with the Pharaoh Sanders Quartet and is also the vocal director for the Horace Tapscott Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, a Los Angeles institution with a history stretching back forty years and an active engagement in the city's Black community since the Watts Uprising. A couple of years ago Carlos Ni?o (best known over here as one half of Ammoncontact) invited Trible onto his radio show and from there a friendship and musical journey began. Ni?o started speaking to the new luminaries of the LA scene about collaborating with Trible and before he knew it he had an LP which combined sixties-inspired avant garde/spiritual jazz with the hottest beats the city had to offer.
