Bobby Zankel is a cornerstone of the Philadelphia creative jazz scene, someone who’s been doing this work for decades with deep intention and care. He studied with Ornette Coleman, and leads The Warriors of the Wonderful Sound, a long-running ensemble built around collective energy, trust, and fearless improvisation.

His music moves between composition and open space—bold, searching, and always alive. Over the years, his work has included commissioned pieces featuring artists like Muhal Richard Abrams, Steve Coleman, and Rudresh Mahanthappa, but at its core, this is about the band in the room, listening hard and moving together.

THE WARRIORS:
Bobby Zankel – Sax
