  • Description

    Limited edition pressing of 500 numbered copies only - 180g audiophile pressing - gatefold sleeve with LP size booklet.

    Listen to 'Impressions' and dive into a kaleidoscope of sonorities coming from the wide-open vision of musical concepts of the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble. For more than thirty years, the group has carried the American tradition of percussive jazz onward from a distinctly African-Chicago-American perspective. Founded in 1973 by percussionist Kahil El'Zabar, this, their second album and first for Red Records (1982), is a much sought-after LP by collectors, with second-hand copies changing hands at incredibly high prices.



    Now reissued as a special edition of just five hundred numbered copies, this cult masterpiece will be snapped up in a trice.



    Henry 'Light' Huff: soprano saxophone, harp, percussions

    Ed Wilkerson: tenor saxophone, woodwinds, piano

    Kahil El'zabar: drums, percussions

    Recorded in Bologna, Italy, June 1981



    Restoration and digital transfer from original analogue tapes. Remastered by Rinaldo Donati
