New spiritual jazz album by the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, led by legendary Chicago percussionist Kahil El'Zabar, an artist in a league of his own, acknowledged throughout the world as the leader in the vanguard of spiritual and afro-futuristic jazz. Alongside El'Zabar on multi-percussion & vocals is Corey Wilkes on trumpet, Alex Harding on baritone sax and Ian Maksin on cello. This is beautiful Afro-centric spiritual jazz on the forefront of the current popular jazz scene. The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble's music... "seeks to spark a time in which heightened sensibility and higher consciousness will universally be known".
