Kahil El'zabar & Isaiah Collier

A jazz concert bringing together drummer and percussionist Kahil El'zabar and saxophonist Isaiah Collier, two musicians from the Chicago jazz scene, at Blue Note London in the West End.

Kahil El'zabar is a Chicago drummer and percussionist. Isaiah Collier is an American jazz saxophonist, born in 1998, who also composes and plays piano and drums. He is active on the Chicago jazz scene and released his first album, Stembells, in 2023.

The evening presents the two artists together under a joint billing, placing a veteran Chicago percussionist alongside a younger saxophonist and composer. Collier's debut album offers a reference point for his writing and his playing on saxophone.

The concert takes place at Blue Note London, on Saint Martin's Lane in the West End, a venue dedicated to live jazz. It will suit listeners interested in Chicago jazz and in the meeting of a percussionist's rhythmic approach with a younger saxophonist's compositions.
