Strut and Art Yard present the culmination of a 5-year project researching the archives of author, DJ and activist John Sinclair with the first-ever retrospective of the influential Detroit Artists Workshop spanning 1965 to 1978. Dormant in the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Brooklyn for many years, Strut and Art Yard began their research into the archives in 2017. The result is a revelation for any fan of jazz, featuring previously unreleased recordings by Byrd, Moore, English, Woodard, Bennie Maupin and Teddy Harris accompanied by extensive sleeve notes. All tracks are remastered from the original tapes by Technology Works. HEAVY!
