New York - Addis - London - The Story Of Ethio Jazz 1965-1975 captures the innovative genius of Mulatu Astatke, the pioneering composer and bandleader who singlehandedly crafted the unique sound of Ethio jazz. Tracing Astatke's visionary journey across three continents, this essential compilation showcases his boundary-blurring fusion of traditional Ethiopian melodies with jazz, Latin, and funk influences from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s.
Curated by Miles Cleret with the assistance of respected archivists and featuring original photography by Mulatu Astatke himself, this Strut release offers a definitive retrospective on one of African music’s true innovators. Meticulously mastered and thoughtfully packaged, New York - Addis - London provides a rare and immersive listening experience that's as vital for dedicated jazz fans as it is for those seeking the roots of globally influential sounds.
