Let the Spirit Out 

Kahil El’Zabar’s

Ethnic Heritage Ensemble

Live at “mu” London

Spiritmuse Records presents Let the Spirit Out, Live at “mu” London, a unique vision of capturing spiritual jazz master Kahil El’Zabar and the legendary Ethnic Heritage Ensemble performing new, unrecorded material purposefully in a live audience environment, to capture the essence of the ancient ritual of communion through music. It’s El’Zabar’s powerful message to the world today, a call to transcend boundaries with the uncontainable force of the human spirit, expressed through sound. Let the Spirit Out is a recorded ritual that sees the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble at their most powerful: raw, expansive, transcendent and deeply attuned to the healing energy of rhythm.

Lead by the Chicago legend, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble with Corey Wilkes (trumpet), Alex Harding (baritone sax) and Ishmael Ali (cello), delivered stunning performances over two unforgettable evenings that became a landmark experience—refined, healing, and transcendent—where improvisation and spirit merged, deepening the profound connection between artists and community. 

Let the Spirit Out is a journey into the uncontainable force of the human spirit expressed through sound. The album is a recorded ritual that sees the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble at their most powerful: raw, expansive, transcendent and deeply attuned to the healing energy of rhythm. It delivers the deep-listening experience of being present in the very moment of creation, bridging the gap between artist and audience. The Chicago master’s ritual is both uplifting and transformative, inspiring all who hear it to let the spirit out.

Kahil El’Zabar’s message

Let the Spirit Out!

From the Heart, I am connecting to my truest self, rejecting the banter of jealousy and deception. I am reborn again now, emerging beyond my fears, where I can feel the power of Soul, revitalizing the mindfulness of Being.

Jump and Shout, Let The Spirit out, let less be more and more, less. Know what’s real, know what is beyond arrogant boast, or superlative conjecture. Be joyful, in knowing far beyond the lies, where we are endowed with Flight.

Embrace magic and allow the Heart to dance. Activate the science within frequency, where openness can empower deeper feelings in knowing.

Accept the Glow and the good that surrounds it. Be in the Flow of resounding confidence, expelling all invasions of imposed doubt.

I am Free, born to be beyond the shackles of soul sucking parasites, who fester lies, imposing dark manipulations upon the innocent. I repel these imposters, who glorify oligarchy as though it were their right of supremacy? We are the Soul rejuvenators, searchers of the Light, Spirit dancers from the Ancient to the Future, A Power Stronger than Itself.

Right now and forever, there is no fear in what is inevitable. We are upon a journey of unspoken merit, where those who know, work for love and not for favor. Our call is Real and clear to the pure of Heart. It is now and in all ways, our collective breath, that bellows abundant life. We are winning in spite of the illusions lying heavily in place.

Look Deeper and go inside. Embrace your power, avoid the doubt. It’s time to Jump and Shout, Let That Spirit Out!

Peace and Blessing in the Most High,

Sir Kahil El’Zabar.
