Ali Baba's Tahini is a South Bend, Indiana quintet that incorporates everything from jazz and fusion to rock and avant garde.
Three years later in 2003, a four-man Ali Baba's Tahini (with Smylie on bass and Engelmann on guitar) reunited for a one-off performance in Niles, Michigan.
Engelmann fronted Asheville-based rock band Mother Vinegar from 2004 to 2007, who, along with Umphrey's McGee, performed a number of Ali Baba's Tahini songs in concert.
Ali Baba's Tahini added a new member and songwriter, Justin W. Powell (The Mantras) on keyboards, for their Bottom Feeders release in 2020.
Ali Baba's Tahini performed a benefit show for Michael Welter at Vegetable Buddies in South Bend, Indiana on Sept 30, 2017.
