 usic Mine, The Exchange Downtown, The Exchange Squirrel Hill, or at th
 e Thunderbird Cafe website. $20\nat the door. Note this  is an early 
 show, it starts on time.\nFor 35 years, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble h
 as carried on the African-American tradition of percussive jazz from a
  distinctly Midwest-Chicago perspective. They have a long line of stel
 lar recordings, many on the respected Delmark jazz label.\nThe Ethnic 
 Heritage Ensemble was formed shortly after percussionist Kahil\nEl'Zab
 ar graduated from the school of the Association for the\nAdvancement o
 f Creative Musicians in 1976. He teamed up with tenor\nsaxophonist Edw
 ard Wilkerson, Jr. to play music that combined\ncontemporary African A
 merican musical styles, like jazz, with more\ntraditional African inst
 rumentation and rhythms. The duo would\nfrequently grow to a trio in t
 hese first years, adding musicians like\nsaxophonist Light Henry Huff 
 and Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre. In 1988,\nthey added trombonist and 
 conga player Joseph Bowie, who is the leader\nof the jazz-funk group D
 efunkt. In 1997, Wilkerson was replaced by\nErnest \"Khabeer\" Dawkins
  who is the leader of New Horizons Ensemble. Trumpeter Corey Wilkes (a
 lso of Art Ensemble of Chicago) was added several years later.\n\nFor
