Afro-Zen Allstars

Afro-Zen Allstars

Join us for an evening of joyful Afrobeat performed by a legendary 8-piece ensemble.

Afro-Zen Allstars exist at the place where African musical tradition connects with Jazz and Jam, and the lovely and haunting sounds created in Ethiopia during the "Golden Age" (late '60's- mid '70's) serve as our primary inspiration. The ensemble performs a large repertoire of material from all over Africa and beyond, plus similarly flavored originals. This is music for the mind, body and spirit and, with the goal of increasing the amount of joy in the world.

Lineup: George M Lowe, guitar and arrangements; Keith Cable, percussion; Brian Cruse, bass; John Lilley, alto/tenor sax; Scott Milstead, drums; Chris Sclafani, alto/baritone sax; Chris Vasi, guitar; Toby Whitaker, trombone
