Chicago’s legendary spiritual jazz shaman Kahil El’Zabar returns, leading an enviable ensemble of young masters from his hometown!

Kahil El’Zabar delivers yet another epic double LP’s worth of ancient/future music for the mind, body and soul. From swinging jazz that sings of his Chicago pedigree, to talking drums and soothing spiritual grooves that reconnect Black Classical Music with its African roots.

This is enchanting, hypnotic spiritual jazz sounds with a powerful message from yet another epic double LP’s worth of ancient/future music for the mind, body and soul by Kahil El’Zabar. ‘A Time for Healing’ answers the urgent questions posed by his sold-out ‘America The Beautiful’ album, addressing the state of affairs today whilst calling for a better tomorrow.

‘Time IS’ is the third single from the incredible, highly acclaimed new album ‘A Time for Healing’ by the phenomenal Kahil El’Zabar Quartet. “‘Time IS’ says that rhythm is the force in life the propels all existence. Whomever that are in rhythm, are in life, and therefore, are in time” writes the legendary multi-percussionist and composer in the album’s liner notes. IS stands for Improvised Soul, a term coined to express that improvisation comes from the soul, whatever the genre.

Superbly delivered by El’Zabar and his Quartet - with sonic scientist Isaiah Collier on saxophone, the phenomenal Corey Wilkes on trumpet and wizard Justin Dillard on keys, ‘Time IS’ with its’ groovy, funky, soulful sound, highlights that it indeed, what the world needs right now is exactly what El’Zabar and his Quartet have on offer: A Time for Healing.
