Jazz Remedy is very pleased to bring back two of the greatest musicians in progressive jazz today! Grammy Award winning saxophonist, David Murray and iconic multi-percussionist, Kahil El'Zabar come together in a very dynamic duo.
It’s impossible to express the depth of history & musical pedigree between these two players. They are consummate virtuosos, possessing ingenious interpretations within the history and future of Great Black Music! You'll be taken on a journey of profound sound that will uplift and transport your spirits away from the mediocre into the bliss of soulfully inspired creative music! It's going to be a rare treat to experience these two legendary musicians together!
David Murray is one of the most recorded musicians as a leader in the history of jazz, with well over 200 celebrated projects. As a
tenor saxophonist, he perfected an instantly recognizable approach to improvisation that even in its freest flights, acknowledges the
gravity of a tradition he honors more than most & altered the context for his improvisations as an infinite mosaic of musical challenges & explorations. He has won numerous awards over his vast career, including a Grammy for the Best Jazz Instrumental Group
Performance, for his Tribute to John Coltrane and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
Kahil El’Zabar is one of the most prolific innovators of his generation, with more than 60 well-received projects & numerous international awards as musician & composer. In 2014, he was knighted by the Counsel General of France, and christened as a “Chevalier Medal of Lettersâ€. In 2012, President Obama’s administration awarded him the International Ambassador’s Award in the Arts.
