Tuned to 432 Hz
Gene Dunlap was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and he began playing drums as a high school student. He joined the guitarist Earl Klugh as a drummer. He also performed with Roy Ayers, who played the vibraphone, and guitarist Grant Green in later years.
Afterward, he rejoined Earl Klugh during the mid-1970s to record a series of albums during a period of 20 years, including some albums for Capitol Records. After 1994, Dunlap quit performing and taught inner-city youth in Detroit, but returned as a bandleader/drummer in April 2000

Gene Dunlap has been one of my favorite artists, especially by me being a Bassist. He has stood the test of time and I appreciate his Art and endurance. Patrice Rushen, I feel the same way about. A beautiful composition. Peace & Blessings from PHILLY, Pa.!!
Patrice Louise Rushen (born September 30, 1954) is an American jazz pianist and R&B singer. She is also a composer, record producer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and music director.
Perry Hughes ranks among the greatest of Detroit’s jazz guitarists. He began his performing career in Detroit nightclubs at the tender age of 14, and hasn’t stopped performing in the many decades since then. A self-taught musician, he went on to be an instructor of jazz guitar at Michigan State University. His approach to the guitar has been described as comparable to such greats as Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Pat Martino and George Benson. His musical resume includes performing and/or recording with a long list of top jazz and pop musicians and leading vocalists, including Aretha Franklin, Bob James, Earl Klugh, Ronnie Laws, Mary Wilson & The Supremes, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, Bill Heid, Marlena Shaw, Bobby Lyle, Joe Williams, Will Downing, Gene Dunlap and Irene Reid, as well as organ greats, Jimmy Smith, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Charles Earland, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Ronnie Foster, Don Patterson, Jack McDuff ― and more recently, Gerard Gibbs.
