Kahil El'Zabar's Ethnic Heritage Ensemble
Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, W1D 4HT , [Venue Details]Open Me is a joyous honouring of portent new directions of the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble; it’s a visionary journey into deep roots and future routes, channeling traditions old and new.
The album mixes El’Zabar’s original compositions with timeless classics by Miles Davis, McCoy Tyner and Eugene McDaniels. Thus, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble continues affirming their indelible, half-century presence within the continuum of Great Black Music.The EHE was founded by El’Zabar in 1974 originally as a quintet, but was soon paired down to its classic form — a trio, featuring El’Zabar on multi-percussion and voice, plus two horns.
The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble shifts gears and tempos in a jazz-blues continuum, in perpetual spontaneity. With El’Zabar at the helm, the band’s line-up has always been open to changes, and over the years the EHE has welcomed dozens of revered musicians including Light Henry Huff, Kalaparusha Maurice Macintyre, Joseph Bowie, Hamiett Bluiett and Craig Harris.
The current line-up has been consolidated over two decades — trumpeter Corey Wilkes entered the circle twenty years ago, while baritone sax player Alex Harding joined seven years ago, after having played with El’Zabar since the early 2000s in groups such as Joseph Bowie’s Defunkt. They will be joined cellist Ishmael Ali.
