Ausverkauft | Acht Brücken: Kahil El`Zabar

In the organizer's words:

Corey Wilkes (trumpet), Kahil El'Zabar (percussion/vocals), Alex Harding (bass)

Ethnic Heritage Ensemble Anniversary

The bandleader, percussionist and multi-instrumentalist has had a decisive influence on the development of jazz in recent decades. An old-school avant-gardist, one could say, if this attribution were not a contradiction in terms. But of course the old also has its place in the new, one emerges from the other and would be inconceivable without the other. El'Zabar has both, a respectful view of the given and a sure instinct for what is to come. At a young age, he studied African music in Ghana, later founded the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble and became president of the AACM, an association of musicians from the Chicago avant-garde scene. He played with greats such as Dizzy Gillespie and Cannonball Adderley, with Anthony Braxton, Archie Shepp and Pharoah Sanders.
