Brother Ah recorded with some of the most illustrious names in the genre, including Donald Byrd, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Gil Evans and, perhaps most influentially, Sun Ra. In 1969, Ah formed his own group, the Musical Sound Awareness Ensemble, and released several works under his own name from 1974 onward. In the early 1980's Brother Ah settled permanently in Washington, DC, where he taught music, hosted a weekly radio program on WPFW, formed the World Music Ensemble, and thankfully continued to record. Move Ever Onward infuses Indian, Japanese and African folk music elements into more traditional jazz structures. Its eight tracks include four vocals, by the artists Dara, Aiisha, Kwesi Gilbert Northern and Ayida Tengemana. The instrumental tracks provide more colorful moments, such as the cacophonous percussion on “Boundless Rhythm” and the hypnotic kora and koto notes on “Enthusiasm” and “Celestial Strings”.
