Mulatu Astatke – Mulatu Steps Ahead
February 23, 2010
The new studio album from the legendary Mulatu Astatke. The session finds him exploring new directions in the fusion of Western jazz and Ethiopian modes, a natural development of the innovative, intoxicating sound that he pioneered in the 60s and 70s. The album was recorded with personnel from Boston’s Either/Orchestra, with further contributions from traditional Ethiopian musicians in Addis Ababa, members of The Heliocentrics and some of the UK’s finest Jazz and African-music players.
