  • The group Ebonic Tones featuring Ahmed Abdullah, Billy Bang, Alex Harding, D.D. Jackson, Alex Blake and Brandon Lewis will perform in Milan on Sunday, May 11, 2008. The group is available for other bookings between May 3 and May 10, 2008. Contact Phillipa Jordan or Lalo (checkout contact page).


  • Check out this video which features Ahmed Abdullah's Diaspora, a group similar in personnel to Ebonic Tones. The major difference is the emphasis in Diaspora on Sun Ra material with vocalists (and in this case of couple of personnel changes).
