Impressions by Ethnic Heritage Ensemble released on Red Record in 1982

"Listen to the album and dive into a real kaleidoscope of sonorities coming from a wide-open vision of the musical concept. There is ‘free’ in this music, its more poetic side, there is Africa, its beating rhythm, there is all the love that afro-americans of that time were putting into a music considered as an exploration journey. (Nicola Gaeta, liner notes)

Ethnic Heritage Ensemble
Three Gentlemen From Chikago released in 1981 on Moers Music

"A rare one by Chicago's groundbreaking Ethnic Heritage Ensemble -- featuring a different-than-usual lineup that includes the usual percussion of Kahil El'Zabar and reeds of Ed Wilkerson, plus more sax work by Light Henry Huff, an obscure AACM player who passed on early in life, and barely made it in the recording studio. Huff's got a whimsical tone that's a direct descendent of early work by the Art Ensemble, and as this album demonstrates, if he'd stayed with us longer, he would have taken his rightful place beside Roscoe Mitchell and Kalaparusha as one of Chicago's most inventive reedmen. Titles include "Brother Malcolm", "Moving Of Seasons", "A Serious Pun", and "The Seeker" " - Dusty Groove
