On this live filmed performance at his own loft space El'Zabar plays drums, earth drums, kalimba with Corey Wilkes, trumpet, flugelhorn, percussion; Ernest Dawkins, alto and tenor saxophone, percussion; Fareed Haque, electric and acoustic guitar. The group, with its advanced combination of funky syncopation and African drum ensemble music, has been described in Downbeat as “……..an ad hoc percussion band walking the second line, with a little James Brown thrown in."
