Welcome To Harlem, Harlem Jazz Boxx and Arts & Education Continuum are proud to present for one night only Kahil El'Zabar's New Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, on their Super Healing Tour 2016. The powerhouse trio features legendary multi-percussionist Kahil El'Zabar, baritone sax legend Hamiet Bluiett, and trombone master Craig Harris. Celebrating the birth of noted scholar, activist and educator W.E.B. DuBois, this extraordinary evening is not to be missed!

“Now is the time when these great players from this particular community of creative improvisers are in their heyday, and there'll never be artists with this particular experience making music again.” Kahil El’Zabar

Internationally renowned percussionist and composer Kahil El'Zabar is considered one of the most prolific jazz innovators of his generation. Indeed, El'Zabar is a true "Renaissance Man," with a musical style and content that flows from ancient Africa to the modern world.

Hamiet Bluiett is widely regarded as one of the most talented baritone saxophone players in all of jazz music. Bluiett has continued to record and perform as a bandleader into the twenty-first century, and he has consciously resisted the advanced technological techniques of the new century in favor of a more stripped-down sound.

When Craig Harris exploded onto the jazz scene in 1976, he brought the entire history of the jazz trombone with him. From the growling gutbucket intensity of early New Orleans music through the refined, articulate improvisation of the modern era set forth by J.J. Johnson, into the confrontational expressionism of the '60s avant-garde, Craig handled the total vernacular the way a skilled orator utilizes the spoken word.
