Limited edition black-vinyl LP. Edition of 500.

Fellahin is a violin, wind and percussion format for violinist Mike Khoury. He has assembled this instrumental grouping several times under that moniker. For this album, Khoury travelled to Miami to work with Kenny Millions (Keshavan Maslak) on clarinet and guitar, and Steven Bristol on percussion.

Khoury is best known for his work as a soloist, in duet with percussionist Ben Hall and dancer/choreographer Leyya Tawil and as a member of The Northwoods Improvisers, Porcelain Hammer, The Redford Civic Symphony and the Sensorium Chamber Orchestra. He operates the Entropy Stereo label, space, and studio where he composes, conducts research and produces recordings of his and other groups.

Former Detroiter, Kenny Millions (aka Keshavan Maslak), is a free music veteran having led groups with John Lindberg, Sonny Murray and a litany of downtown stalwarts like Phillip Glass, Rhys Chatham and Laurie Anderson. A fearless musician, Kenny started in the Motown touring band and eventually hung out with John Cage, turning him on to Derek Bailey’s live performances.

Steven Bristol is one of Miami’s best kept secrets. A stunning percussionist and pianist, Bristol is also a producer known for his work with Kool Keith having produced the last session of proto filthy rap, Blowfly, with a cast of free jazz giants. Bristol has performed or recorded with the likes of Rat Bastard, Thurston Moore and Chris Corsano.
