Ebban and Ephraim Dorsey are 20- and 21-year-old saxophonists, composers, bandleaders, and rising stars in the contemporary jazz scene. The multi-talented siblings have been playing together since they were nine and 10. Both have been members of Carnegie Hall’s NYO Jazz, Herbie Hancock Institute’s National Peer-to-Peer All-Star Jazz, JAZZ HOUSE KiDS, and Peabody Jazz Ensembles between 2020–2024.
Ebban Dorsey’s improvisational prowess is also featured extensively on José James’ album On & On, a jazz tribute to Erykah Badu, which resulted in Ebban Dorsey being invited on her first international tour in 2023. Ephraim Dorsey was also cast to play a young Kamasi Washington in his short film As told to G/D thyself, which was nominated for awards at the Sundance and La Roche-sur-Yon International Film Festivals.
Destined for greatness, the Dorseys continue to blaze a trail forward with their trademark humility, melodic invention, and forward-thinking musical concepts. Their performances can be described as two different voices coming together to create a healing, ethereal, and emotional experience for listeners as well as themselves.
