This club date at Chi-town's Hot House in the fall of 2000 is released eight years after being recorded. It marks a prior coming of age for El'Zabar, who plays the drum kit almost exclusively (he is featured on the booklet with a giant mbira), and always honors the celebratory aspect of music making. Bassist Malachi Favors is here, as is Ari Brown who is heard on the piano throughout, and tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders guests on two tracks. The recording quality is a bit thin, but good enough to clearly hear all the players, especially Brown's fine melodic inventions. On the opener "Autumn Leaves," after a spiritual inspired intro, Brown stretches out and owns this well-worn standard, followed by bass and drum solos. Brown is consistent, insistent, swings easily and his ideas are very good. "In The Land Of Ooh!" with Sanders ventures into John Coltrane territory in a free no-time exercise, building intensity to a fever pitch, calmed, then built back up via the animated and excitable building blocks Pharoah piles on high. "This Little Light Of Mine" could be easily titled "Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child," for their simple melodic themes are similar. The trio plays this, sans Sanders or lyrics, in an easy swing, and the ringing bass of Favors is most evident as the central holy modal rounder and soothsayer. The finale "Ka's Blues," at a brief seven minutes, has Brown in the intro honking on tenor in an R&B bar walking style, then goes back to piano while Sanders takes over, screaming, shouting and verbally urging the group into their get down mood. It sounds like they play a little together but it's hard to tell. El'Zabar's concept of ritualism is all inclusive, communal and sharing. He also defines "ooh" as "operative oracles for humanity," a proud occupational title these great musicians certainly live up to on this fine audio document of their work. ~ Michael G.

Description:BRAND NEW. A very special recording of Kahil El'Zabars Ritual...BRAND NEW. A very special recording of Kahil El'Zabars Ritual Trio, which normally features Kahil on drums, Ari Brown on piano and saxophone, and Malachi Favors on bass, this live recording from the Hot House in Chicago includes jazz icon Pharoah Sanders on saxophone as a special guest. It is certainly one of the most innovative collaborations of the past twenty years and one of the only recordings to ever capture Sanders on vocals. It is something very unique and different from some very important figures in jazz history.
