These two modern music masters, have been at the forefront of creative exploration and compositional diversity over the past four decades. Murray and ElZabar are recognized by their peers to be consummate virtuosos, who possess ingenious interpretations within the history and future of Great Black Music!

This magnificent duo, shares with us all, the hope and desire that comes from blowing fire in an acquired wisdom. This is freedom music in its noblest sense, meant to heal and release one from the regurgitated mediocrity currently flooding our airways. These two wise men know firsthand whats genuine and real. They
have both played and recorded with the legends. To witness these time proven masters in person, is to be exalted and rejuvenated! They are the miracle of a profound sound, within a priceless opportunity not to be missed! These cats express brilliantly what true musicians feel and see, which is the epiphany to be free! They are body and soul, in a moments notice, that ignites the call to have a ball with the one and only Murray/ElZabar Duo!
