Jazz Remedy is very pleased to bring international creative music icon, Kahil El'Zabar & his Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, back to Vallejo for another wonder-filled concert. This year, Kahil El'Zabar is touring with long-time band member, Corey Wilkes (trumpet) and Alex Harding (baritone saxophone).
Come experience the Remedy of Freedom Music that will heal and inspire us to be all we can be. Take the Cure and be submerged into sounds that are genuine and real. Escape the monotony of predictability and embark with us on a journey of light to enhance your creative sight!
These players are much more than accomplished jazz musicians. They are next level Sound Scientists, who have mastered rituals in music to raise consciousness while healing the mind, body and spirit. The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble creates music endowed with an authentic pedigree that urges to push the boundaries of creative music into the soulful heart of fresh expression!
Kahil El'Zabar: multi-percussion & voice
(Dizzy Gillespie, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Cannonball Adderley, Paul Simon, David Murray and too many more to list).
Considered by his peers to be one of the most prolific innovators of his generation, El'Zabar has recorded more than sixty well-received projects, and won numerous international awards as a musician and composer. In 2014, Dr. El’Zabar was knighted by the Counsel General of France, and christened as a “Chevalier Medal of Letters”. In 2012, President Barack Obama’s administration awarded him the International Ambassador’s Award in the Arts. In 2006, The Chicago Tribune named Kahil El’Zabar Chicagoan of the Year. In 1994, President Bill Clinton appointed El’Zabar to the National Task Force on Arts in Education.
Corey Wilkes: trumpet
(Wynton Marsalis, Roy Hargrove, James Moody, Kurt Elling, Greg Osby, Roscoe Mitchell, Osunladé)
Corey Wilkes has established himself as one of the best improvising trumpeters in the modern era. Having the skill and maturity to approach mainstream repertoire of jazz standards with his own unique sensibilities, he combines them with his deep appreciation of hip-hop. Corey continues to bring his brand of musicianship and talent to the forefront of the genre.
Alex Harding: baritone saxophone
Alex is considered one of the top baritone players in New York City. He has been a fixture on the New York jazz seen since 1993, performing, touring and recording with the Julius Hemphill Saxophone Sextet, Hamiett Bluiett Baritone Nation, David Murray Big Band, Oliver Lake Big Band, Craig Harris, Joseph Bowie’s defunkt, Aretha Franklin, David Lee Roth, Lester Bowie, Andy Gonzales, Muhal Richard Abrams, Jayne Cortes and the Fire Spitters, Abdullah Ibrahim and the Tony award-winning Broadway show Fela!
