Synopsis

Album Description

The 20th in the critically acclaimed Ethiopiques series, Live in Addis Ababa takes Ethiopiques ? and Ethio-jazz ? to a new place. The Either/Orchestra, a 10-piece jazz orchestra based in Boston, are among the first non-Ethiopian artists to become serious interpreters of Ethiopian music. Recorded live at a historic concert ? the first performance by a U.S. big band in Ethiopia since Duke Ellington in 1973. The results blend state-of-the-art playing and an exotic, captivating Ethiopian program into a kind of Buena Vista Social Club Addis-style, featuring several Ethiopian elder statesmen performing with a big band for the first time since the 1960s, and two younger singers doing so for the first time. Inspired by the great Ethiopian pop and jazz of the ?60s and ?70s, the E/O has brought the full array of modern jazz and Afro-Cuban innovations to an Ethiopian repertoire.

CD Reviews

Best jazz cd of 2005

G. McMahon | 11/24/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is easily the best new jazz cd (or any other type of music) that I've heard this year, perhaps in the last 2 or 3 years. 3/4 of the music is jazz with Ethiopian influences and 1/4 is the reverse. The music is both driving and melodic but never dull or lame. Given the strong mix of brass and a large rhythm section, it is also an excellent road cd. The music is so joyous without being trite that it should satisfy both hard core jazz fans and also be a good cd to try and convert non-jazz fans. Finally, it is a coherent package of music and not just 2 cds of great songs. That is, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, which are already excellent."
