The 
East-West Love Ensemble is a loosely-knit group of musicians and dancers who have chosen to make Portland, Oregon home base for their world-music wanderings. With influences that range from Turkish folkloric music to Wester jazz and rock, the musicians hail from places as near as Austin, Texas and as far as Moscow, Russia. The common thread is a love for music without borders and a fierce commitment to improvisation. Members of East-West Love Ensemble include:
Michael Beach | Charles Pike | Paul Evans | Danielle Elizabeth
Andrew Alikhanov | Michelle Alany | Albert McDonnell | Kathy Fors
Paul Martin Beck | Doug Shafer | Clark Salisbury
