Zoid is a 50 minute soundscape or sound sculpture which was created using over dubs, digital editing, digital synthesis and sampling by Mike Ellis and features Chicago trumpet player Jeff Beer (who can also be heard on the AlphaPocket release "Chicago Spontaneous Combustion Suite"). This piece is in tribute to late trumpet great Lester Bowie and the Australian aboriginal culture. Quicktime will be necessary to listen. Please be sure you have the latest version.

Mike Ellis/Bahia Band
The Bahia Band is a project that developed after visiting Salvador (Bahia) Brazil several times during the recording and mixing of the Speak in Tones “Subaro” project (2003-2004). I fell in love with it’s people and it’s music. I have now come to make it one of my homes. This band is basically a continuation of what I’ve been doing along with artists like Graham Haynes, Brice Wassy, Cheick Tidiane Seck, Antoine Roney, Steve Coleman, Lonnie Plaxico, Santi DiBriano, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Roy Hardgrove, Wallace Roney, Leon Parker, Sam Newsome, Cassandra Wilson, Gino Sitson, Elizabeth Kotomonou, Daniel Moreno and Jorge Amorim for more than 10 years now, which is something I like to call “World Jazz”.
