This selection of jazz instrumentals from late '60sRnotes
and early '70s Ethiopia represents a side to African
music seldom heard in 'World Music' reissue circles.
This music represents a hybridised approach to jazz,
incorporating African, Latin and Arabic scales alongside
the more psychedelic, beat group-informed music
of the west.
This no doubt has something to do with the presence
of musicians like Mulatu Astatke, who trained in America.
His piece 'Metche Dershe' is positively swinging, with
a beat primed for sampling, but those unusual scales
and that intelligent approach to composition elevate it
far beyond the usual jazzy exotica.
