Mulatu Astatke is widely regarded as the father of Ethiopia's
jazz scene, so it's only fitting that he should get an instalment
of the renowned Ethiopiques series all to himself.

The recognisably African influences on this music are
surprisingly understated, with Astatke's schooling at Berklee
College Of Music shining through, revealing an accomplished
musician and arranger.

There are some very modern elements to this music (first
released between 1969 and 1974) with Big Muff-saturated
electric guitar leads and wailing horns all very in keeping with
the spirit of the time. Astatke's certainly enjoyed a rich and
varied career, collaborating with Duke Ellington in the
'70s and more recently enjoying some crossover exposure
thanks to Jim Jarmusch's Broken Flowers, which featured some
of Astatke's music on its soundtrack.

He's certainly one of those artists who merits a wider audience
than the awkward 'world music' bracket could afford him.
