Ethiopiques Volume 14 – Getatchew Mekurya – Negus Of Ethiopian SaxVarious
CD (Item 69519) Buda (France), 1972 — Condition: New Copy
One of the most striking volumes of this great series – a special edition of Ethiopiques that focuses on the mad saxophone work of Getachew Makurya! The recordings on this set are all from 1972 – and they feature the deep-toned Mekurya blowing in a strange and otherworldly tone, usually over spare backings that include percussion, piano, and/or organ – making for a sound that's almost like some of Pat Patrick's work for Sun Ra, but with a decidedly more ethnic feel. The compositions are all very basic, and very rhythmic – and Makurya's sax work snakes over the top in a really magical way. Titles include "Aha Gedawo", "Shellela", "Akale Wube", "Tezeta", "Gedamay", "Shemonmwanaye", "Yene Hassab Gwadegna", and "Sellela Besaxophone". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
