Description
Vibraphone and keyboard player, master arranger and bandleader, Mulatu Astatke is one of the all-time greats of Ethiopian music and the creator of his own original music form, Ethio jazz. Strut are proud to present the definitive Mulatu career retrospective covering his landmark ‘60s and ‘70s recordings.
Tracing the progression of his Ethio jazz experiments with full access to all of the labels for whom he recorded, New York- Addis-London is the essential Mulatu. Covering his first 1965 recordings in the UK, his groundbreaking fusions for the small Worthy label in New York and his key ‘70s recordings back in Addis on Amha, Phillips and Axum, the album features comprehensive sleeve notes and rare, previously unseen photos from Mulatu’s personal archive.
