Kahil El’Zabar’s ‘Spirit Groove’ on Spiritmuse Records is the latest musical inspiration from the spiritual jazz master, ft. the legendary tenor sax colossus, David Murray. El’Zabar’s & Murray’s collaborative efforts span over 4 decades of exceptional explorations in the varied realms of spiritual jazz, with ’Spirit Groove’ being the defining moment upon their incredible journey to meaningful, spiritual art. They’re joined by two extraordinary talents, Emma Dayhuff on acoustic bass and Justin Dillard on keys. 

Following the extraordinary success of Kahil El’Zabar’s Ethnic Heritage Ensemble’s latest album ’Be Known: Ancient/Future/Music’, he swiftly returns with an outstanding performance as leader, composer and musician, consolidating his title of ‘best percussionist’ in the world right now. This is a phenomenal album, bringing an entirely new, elevated dimension to the Spirit of Groove!
