Composer, flautist & french horn player Brother AH (formerly Brother AHH, Robert Northern) was among the busiest session musicians of the '50s and '60s. He worked and recorded with numerous jazz stars, among them Donald Byrd, John Coltrane, Gil Evans, Sun Ra, DonCherry, McCoy Tyner, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and the Jazz Composers Orchestra, Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, McCoy Tyner, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, Eric Dolphy, Max Roach, John Lewis, among many others.

As a leader he released an album with his Sounds of Awareness ensemble featuring Max Roach on the coveted Strata East label & later self released two exceptional blends of free jazz and cosmic afro soul on his Divine records imprint - Move Ever Onward & Key To Nowhere, respectively. All three of these recordings have been reissued on the locustside imprint, Ikef records. During an extended period living in New York in the late 1960s, AH tirelessly evangelized great black music as a dj on WBAI, organized radical concerts at WBAI's Free Music Store & tirelessly documented the energetic music around him. That motivation is as present today as it was decades ago in his involvement with the local & global artistic community. AH lives in Washington, D.C. and is the founder of the World Community School of Music. His live appearances are a rare & special treat.
