One World FamilyKahil El'Zabar (Percussion), David Murray (Tenor Saxophone)Much has transpired since Kahil El'Zabar and David Murray's first pairing on record back in the 1980's. Kahil's strong sense of community and the musical telepathy he feels with David Murray are displayed throughout this concert. Just a duo, with nowhere to hide. Like all CIMP dates, recorded live and direct to 2 tracks with no fades, no splices, no dubs; just musical talent and integrity. Recorded March 28 & 29, 2000.Catalog Number: CIMP 205

Papa's BounceKahil El'Zabar (Drums), Ernest Dawkins (Alto Saxophone), Joseph Bowie (Trombone), Atu Harold Murray (Percussion)The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble is one of the veteran improvising ensembles. The group's open approach, which ranges from free intensities to original adaptations of more traditional music/standards has, at its heart, an infectious rhythm base which makes the group satisfying to a wide range of Jazz tastes. Arguably their finest recording. Recorded Feb. 16 & 17, 1998.Catalog Number: CIMP 150
Jitterbug JunctionKahil El'Zabar (Drums), Ari Brown (Tenor Saxophone), Malachi Favors (Bass)A joyous romp with 3 of Chicago's finest veterans. This is carefully crafted music with considerable attention to detail and full committment to exploration. Recorded June 10, 1997.
