"All the way from Chicago, we are delighted to welcome Kahil El’Zabar & The New Ethnic Heritage Ensemble for the launch of their new album, ‘Be Known - Ancient / Future / Music’. An artist truly in a league of his own, El’Zabar is a stalwart of spiritual and afro-futuristic jazz with a significant contribution in the continuation of the scene over the last four decades. His driving compositions - simple themes that gain complexity through repetition and improvisation - have been recorded with such jazz heavyweights including Pharoah Sanders, Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre and 'Light' Henry Huff. Alongside multi-percussionist and vocalist El’Zabar, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble’s current line-up includes Corey Wilkes on trumpet, who has worked with numerous jazz masters, including Wynton Marsalis, Kurt Elling and with El’Zabar for 15 years, multi-instrumentalist Alex Harding on baritone sax and a special guest on Cello. ..."
