3 Chairs is a musical supergroup consisting of Detroit house music producers Kenny "Moodymann" Dixon Jr., Theo Parrish, Rick Wilhite, and Marcellus Pittman.[1][2] The group began as a trio in 1997 before the addition of Pittman in 2003.[3]

## History

[edit]

The group formed as the trio of Dixon, Parrish, and Wilhite in the late 1990s, when they released a series of 12-inch records. With 2003's All Over EP, they added Pittman to the lineup.[3] They released a self-titled album in 2004 which featured appearances by Detroit artists such as saxophonist Norma Jean Bell, percussionist Andrés, keyboardist Amp Fiddler, bassist Bubz Fiddler, and Urban Tribe's Sherard Ingram.[3]

In 2021, the group released the 35-track retrospective compilation 3 Chairs Collection (1997-2013) for digital download.[1][2]
