Never heard of it to tell the truth, but
"The cover photo, featuring Duke Ellington holding an African instrument as he jams with Mulatu Astatke, highlights the album's Ethiopian jazz sound."
Quite like the few bits of Duke Ellington that I've heard, and you're right, jazz like this is seriously good to smoke dope to all day long. Only really scratching the surface with jazz, as there's just so much good stuff out there, and I'm too devoted to my techno to have the time to explore much myself, so, thanks, muchaco apreciato por lo recomendato!

"Only really scratching the surface with jazz"
same here..as i said before im scared to get into jazz properly as i fear it would take too much time if it hits me properly. for now i'll stay with these famous guys and start discovering proper underground jazz in a few years time :)
as for techno, im quite disappointed in most of the newer stuff, there's hardly anyting new, appart from the big guys (aphex, autechre) and older guys who're still in the business (dockstader and rereleases of old electronica albums). also, i've been getting into acid music again, all the way back to chicago and detroit.
but my fav thing of the moment is noise rock/ electronica weirdness, gotta love that :)

i dunno, i've been listening to lots of old wacky pop. and tonnes of world music. i promise to keep you posted. :)
not finding too much time to come here lately... there isn't too much reason for me too not that i'm bitter or anything, it's just most people don't give a shit about what i have to say (and again this is me being matter-of-fact as opposed to mopey).

I have a question about the ethiopiques thing
is 04 only mulatu? He seems to be credited as the main artist, but it's kind of confusing as this seems to be a very compilation-ish series... If it isn't all Mulatu, I'd like to know if anyone knows who the other artists are so that I can track down their other releases too...

yeah, that's what it seems like, but I just wanted to be sure because the series usually is a compilation thing... but yeah I think it's him on all tracks.. though I question how much credit he should take for having written yèkèremo sèw, as it's very very very similar to horace silver's song for my father... I actually want these tracks on vinyl, but some of them don't seem to be available outside of on that cd...

4 is credited to mulatu..and i doubt you will be able to get this on vinyl. unless you maybe try in some second hand record shops in ethiopia.

btw, i moved from ethiopiques onto all sorts of different african things..so much absolutely brilliant music..you get an awesome song on almost every album/compilation..or maybe that's just my luck. however i won't go in details as everyone should find their own path :D :D

the ethiopiques thing isn't printed on anything but cd, but I got afro-latin soul on vinyl just today, actually.. I was tired of just having mp3s. I'm going to buy ethio-jazz next I think.

do you masakatsus rehome, btw?
I'm trying to get my hands on "hard" copies of all his stuff, but in the meantime I'd just like to have the mp3s for listening. I've managed to get eating and eating 2 on vinyl, but the other ones seem a bit less accessible or just really really expensive, like coieda.

oh, right, I actually have a question about that
would you call mulatus stuff acid jazz? I never got the hang of genres, but people want to know what it is in situations where I don't have the music with me.

no, that was about takagi masakatsu, not mulatu. I just think I got all the takagi stuff I have from you? and that you may have more?
I've got a few artists I'm trying to find the entire catalogue of, preferably on vinyl.
