 rraykahilelzabar.brownpapertickets.com/A founding member of the World 
 Saxophone Quartet, David Murray is an American jazz musician who mainl
 y plays tenor saxophone and bass clarinet. He was initially influenced
  by free jazz musicians such as Albert Ayler and Archie Shepp and evol
 ved a more diverse style in his playing and compositions. Murray set h
 imself apart from most tenor players of his generation by not taking J
 ohn Coltrane as his model. He has recorded prolifically for many recor
 d labels since the mid-1970s. He was named Village Voice Musician of t
 he Decade, and was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship, the Grammy, and 
 the Danish Jazzpar Prize. He has visited Pittsburgh performing with th
 e World Saxophone Quartet courtesy of City of Asylum, as well as with 
 the Ritual Trio featuring El-Zabar and Harrison Bankhead.Kahil El'Zaba
 r is one of Chicago's jazz treasures. A member of the AACM, music hold
 s no boundaries for El'Zabar, who has not only played alongside a myri
 ad of jazz greats, but was in the bands of Stevie Wonder, Cannonball A
 dderley, Dizzy Gillespie, and Nina Simone (who he also designed clothe
 s for), as well as recording with rock bands like Sonia Dada and Poi D
 og Pondering. He was also chosen to do the arranging for the stage per
 formances of The Lion King, in addition to leading his own longstandin
 g Ethnic Heritage Ensemble and Ritual Trio. The son of a drummer, El'Z
 abar took to music at an early age, and was playing with members of th
 e Art Ensemble of Chicago by his teens. He started the Ethnic Heritage
  Ensemble upon his return from Africa in 1973, and while the lineup ha
 s changed over time, they are still an active group. He has also relea
 sed a great many albums under his own name, including a long-running r
 elationship with Chicago's great Delmark label. Kahil El'Zabar is not 
 just a master percussionist- his efforts as a musician, educator, and 
 community leader led to being named \"Chicagoan of the year\" in 2004 
 by the Chicago Tribune.\n\nFor more information visit https://jazzburg
