Kahil El’Zabar is the founder of the band and led its first performance at Child City Arts Center\, in Chicago\, in 1973. This was a year after he had returned from the University of Ghana. His goal was to combine concepts of African American music making with the earlier roots of traditional African music and make it something new. After 35 years\, this legendary band is still serving the people worldwide with their special brand of 21st century Griot music. The current band consists of the young trumpet titan\, Corey Wilkes\, along with Chicago saxophone legend\, Ernest Khabeer Dawkins and the award winning multi percussionist\, vocalist\, and composer\, Kahil El’Zabar. \n\n\n\nThe Ethnic Heritage Ensemble\, is now in the pantheon of jazz history. Few bands have lasted more than three decades and there are no signs of this illustrious ensemble slowing down. Their music conjures a spiritual journey to the inner self. It spans time through multiple expressions that transcend styles and genres. There is an extremely personal virtuosity to the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble’s way of making music. It appears simple on the surface\, yet when one goes deeper in the music they are amazed at the density of form. \n\n\n\nWe are reaching out to our community worldwide in 2008\, to collectively celebrate the triumph of the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble\, in staying true to their mission. It is rare to witness such conviction and commitment in these times. This music has enormous history and incredible love. We are all here to make a difference; we must be about the work of our hearts. Living out your dream is the greatest honor one can express. The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble is the real deal and they have truly done it their way! Let us celebrate the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble’s 35th Anniversary now and forever. Aluta Continua!!

In addition\, each member has concertized extensively throughout North and South America\, Europe\, Asia\, Africa\, and Australia: their collective background spans a wide range of musical experiences\, including performances with world music ensembles\, 20th century chamber groups and leading artists in the jazz and rhythm & blues fields. The concert repertoire consists of original compositions by Mr. Rudolph that serve as a basis for improvisational dialogue. \n\n\n\nAbout the Music\n\n\n\nAdam Rudolph writes: \n\n\n\n“I compose forms\, which serve as thematic material to provide an orchestrated context for improvisational dialogue. Music materials consist\, among other things\, of original melodies\, textural gestures\, sound languages\, tone rows\, traditional and synthetic scales\, diadic and intervallicaly generated harmonies\, call and response\, polyphony\, dynamics\, and the coloration of silences. \n\n\n\nUnique forms are generated through my concept of “Cyclic Verticalism”\, whereby polyrhythms\, as used in African music\, are combined with rhythm cycles\, as used in Indian music. When combined with the above-described tonal materials\, larger forms can be generated. In my compositions these materials are utilized to serve emotional coloration; what in India is called Rasa. Performers are given the freedom to use their imagination and listening ability to develop the compositions within their own individual motion and timing\, while still relating to the overall form and to their aesthetic and musical functions. The concept is to generate unusual relationships of sound against sound\, form against form\, and rhythm against rhythm in a non-linear\, ever shifting kaleidoscope of music images. \n\n\n\nAbout Adam Rudolph\n\n\n\nOriginally from Chicago\, composer and handrummer/percussionist Adam Rudolph has been hailed as “a pioneer in world music” by the New York Times and “a master percussionist” by Musician magazine. He has released over twenty recordings as a leader and appeared on numerous albums. For the past three decades he has performed extensively on concert stages and music festivals throughout North & South America\, Europe\, Africa\, and Asia. \n\n\n\nSince the 1970’s Rudolph has been developing his unique syncretic approach to hand drumming in creative collaborations with outstanding artists of cross-cultural and improvised music\, including: Don Cherry\, Jon Hassel\, Sam Rivers\, Hassan Hakmoun\, L. Shankar\, Omar Sosa\, Wadada Leo Smith\, and Pharaoh Sanders. In 1988 Rudolph began his association Yusef Lateef\, with whom he has toured worldwide and recorded over 15 albums. \n\n\n\nRudolph is artistic director of and composes for several performing ensembles: Adam Rudolph’s Moving Pictures Quartet and Octet\, Hu: Vibrational with Hamid Drake\, and Vashti International Percussion Ensemble. He performs as half of the Wildflowers Duo with Butoh dance innovator Oguri. Rudolph also conducts and composes for the Go: Organic Orchestra\, a 30-piece woodwind\, brass\, strings and percussion ensemble\, which he founded in 2001. \n\n\n\nRudolph recently premiered his first Opera\, The Dreamer\, based on the text of Friedreich Nietzsche’s “The Birth of Tragedy”.
