| Live Jazz recording sessions seem to be a thing of the past. Not to |
| discredit the way records are made in the present, but there is |
| something uniquely special when a group of musicians get together in |
| the same room and track some legit Ethiopian-jazz direct to two-inch |
| tape utilizing the best microphones and gear available. Under the |
| direction of engineer/producer, Kamal de Iruretagoyena Humphrey, this |
| stellar group of multicultural musicians recorded in studio without |
| headphones to optimize the intimate setting inspired by the spiritual |
| jazz masterpieces: "Celestial Blues" by Gary Bartz and Joe |
| Henderson's "Earth". |
| |
| These type of live recording sessions do have their obstacles. The |
| legendary drummer, James Gadson, had to go in to the hospital the day |
| before the session. Just before downbeat, master-percussionist, |
| Kahlil Cummings, told the band that he had another session... that |
| night! This is the life when working with such sought after |
| musicians. The result of such brilliant chemistry is what you are |
| about to listen to in Kibrom's Circles. |
| |
| Ethiopian-born Jazz musician Kibrom Birhane mixes Spiritual Jazz |
| with Ethiopian Jazz motifs to create a unique and deep sound that |
| resonates across many cultures and musical concepts. His |
| understanding of Jazz and improvisation is unparalleled among Jazz |
| artists in the world today. This understanding combined with a |
| connection to the spirits creates a rich and diverse tapestry of |
| sounds, ideas, and discoveries. Kibrom is a member of Los Angeles |
| based Ethio-Cali group, that has included Jazz luminaries Kamasi |
| Washington, Dexter Story, Mark De-Clive Lowe and many others. |
| |
| Musicians featured on this session are Ethio Cali bandmates: |
| |
| Randal Fisher - the wunderkind saxophonist raised in Los Angeles, |
| who's big soulful sound compliments the likes of Aloe Blacc, Tony |
| Allen, Meklit, Dexter Story's Wondem, and the Pan-Afrikan People's |
| Arkestra. |
| |
| Kahlil Cummings - LA's master percussionist via Guinea attains |
| talents so massive, he has worked with Kendrick Lamar, Kamasi |
| Washington, Shakira, Pharrell Williams, Janelle Monae and Gwen |
| Stefani while directing his own ensemble Extra-Ancestral and the all |
| queen ensembled bateria, Bloco Obini. |
| |
| Nadav Peled is a recent addition to Los Angeles from Israel with |
| well-versed African-Jazz guitar stylings showcased with Gili Yalo and |
| Thalma de Freitas while leading his NY-based Anbessa Orchestra. |
| |
| Rounding out the ensemble are the Ethiopian bass-legend, Misgana |
| Mulat, who has worked with the likes of Mahmoud Ahmed, Aster Awake, |
| Tewodros Tadesse, Teddy Afro, Judith Hill, and Najee. |
| |
| On drums is the San Diego-based powerhouse Jake Najor who's deep, |
| rhythmic pocket is sought out by Big Daddy Kane, TV On the Radio, |
| Kelis, Raphael Saadiq, Breakestra, Connie Price and the Keystones, De |
| La Soul, and many more. |
| |
| Adding to the mix, we find Kibrom's wife, the talented |
| multi-instrumentalist, Etsegenet Mekonnen singing on "Circles." |
