Chris Collins, Artistic Director and President of the Detroit Jazz Festival, performed and held an ensemble workshop this year at the 25th annual Takatsuki Jazz Street.

Khamsin was originally formed in 1996 and released their first album, “KHAMSIN,” in 1998. After a long hiatus, the band was reborn and welcomed two new members in 2017. Their second album, “Blue Hour,” was released the following year.

They say each member has their own sound and groove, which gives the band a special and unique sound. Listen to part of their recent performance in June 2023 here: https://youtu.be/hYQm3NhDyss
