More details

We have received the following information regarding this event;


The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble was founded by spiritual jazz multi-percussionist and bandleader Kahil El’Zabar in 1974.

 


With El’Zabar at the helm, the band’s line-up has featured 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.
