Mulatu Astatke - New York-Addis-London 2LP

Strut presents an excellent overview of the prime years of this remarkable Ethiopian vibraphone player. Covering his first recordings in the UK during 1965, his groundbreaking fusions for the small Worthy label in New York and his key ‘70s recordings back in Addis on Amha, Phillips and Axum, this set will leave no doubt on the mastery of this jazz free-thinker.
