Spiritmuse Records and Kahil El'Zabar present Let The Spirit Out, Live at "mu" London, a unique concept of recording new material purposefully in a live audience environment, to capture the feeling of connectedness in the ancient ritual of communion through music. Spiritual jazz master Kahil El'Zabar created new material for this album, in a powerful message to the world today, speaking about release, freedom, revelation and empowerment to Let the Spirit Out. Chicago legend El'Zabar began writing new material, alongside new arrangements for reimagined classics to be performed by the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble at "mu" London, an audiophile space for a healing, immersive experience. Leading the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble with Corey Wilkes (trumpet), Alex Harding (baritone sax) and Ishmael Ali (cello), the spiritual jazz shaman El'Zabar and his close collaborators delivered stunning performances over two unforgettable evenings that became a landmark experience-refined, healing, and transcendent-where improvisation and spirit merged, deepening the profound connection between artists and community. The album is a recorded ritual that sees the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble at their most powerful: raw, expansive, transcendent and deeply attuned to the healing energy of rhythm.The 2xLP black classic vinyl pressed at Optimal is to Spiritmuse Records' high-quality and features stunning artwork by extraordinary artist Nep Sidhu. The release is further enriched by a dedicated microsite, sharing reflections and testimonials from artists and writers who witnessed these two extraordinary nights.The Chicago legend is asking us to strip away layers of restraint, inviting listeners to experience liberation and healing, and let truth, passion and light emerge without fear. In his own words:"We, the people of spirit, will rise to a higher consciousness beyond these darkest times, forging telepathic kinships of empowered Love. Jump and Shout, Let the Spirit Out!"Sir Kahil El'Zabar.
