About
Listen to 'Impressions' and dive into a kaleidoscope of sonorities coming from the wide-open vision of musical concepts of the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble.
For more than thirty years, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble has carried the American tradition of percussive jazz onward from a distinctly African-Chicago-American perspective. Founded in 1973 by percussionist Kahil El'Zabar, this, their second album and first for Red Records (1982), is a much sought-after LP by collectors, with second-hand copies changing hands at incredibly high prices.
Henry 'Light' Huff: soprano saxophone, harp, percussions
Ed Wilkerson: tenor saxophone, woodwinds, piano
Kahil El'zabar: drums, percussions
Recorded in Bologna, Italy, June 1981. Restoration and digital transfer from original analogue tapes. Remastered by Rinaldo Donati.
