	Mulatu Astatke : Ethio Jazz - Ethiopian sounds with a twist
		Mulatu was studying jazz, and that and other influences shaped his Ethio Jazz.
		Mulatu's main challenge in combining traditional Ethiopian music with jazz, he says, involved integrating the pentatonic-scale-based melodies of Ethiopia with the 12 tones on which Western music is based.
		For his part, Mulatu, whose main performing instruments are vibraphone, piano, and percussion, is delighted after all these years to work with American musicians who combine high-caliber chops and a genuine affinity for his music.

	ear fuzz: Mulatu!
		Everything I here from this man never fails to blow me away, Mulatu's unique blend of Latin, Ethiopian and American Jazz is just sublime, this is how fusion should be done.
		Mulatu never compromised or tried to conform with his music so that he could sell to the mass's, he was well aware at the time that his music would only ever be appreciated by a small audience but this didn't faze him, thank god
		Original release's by Mulatu Astatqe sell for rediculous money but thankfully there are several labels who have reissued his work Soundway Records being one, thier 10" Mulatu EP is an essential record not only does it feature the absolutly banging Ebo Lala but also contains three other corkers!

		Perhaps the most interesting cut, however, is "Yekatit," from 1974, which is Astatke's tribute to the burgeoning revolution which would oust Emperor Haile Sellassie.
		Some of these pieces, certainly "Dewel," has seen U.S. release before; the track appeared in 1972 on Mulatu of Ethiopia, which was Astatke's third American LP, showing that jazz aficionados, at least, had an appreciation for what he was achieving in the horn of Africa.
		Given that many of his musicians had graduated from police and military bands, they knew their instruments well, and had plenty of practice time, which shows in the often inventive solos that dot the tracks.

		Legendary Ethiopian composer and musician Mulatu Astatke has been one of the most influential musicians from Africa apart from the obvious Fela Kuti.
		I heard an Astatke track a couple weeks ago and it really stuck with me. The “combination of Ethiopian five scale music with jazz and fusion” sounds cool.
		I am very happy to find things that help to know Mulatu Astatke.He is one of the most admirable musicins we are lucky to have in this world.

		Mulatu Astatke : Afro-Latin Soul - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		This 1966 LP by Astatke (billed to Mulatu Astatke & His Ethiopian Quintet) isn't shaded by nearly as much African/Ethiopian influence as his best work, which was recorded between the late '60s and mid-'70s.
		As the title might lead you to believe, it is indeed more in the Latin soul-jazz bag than the later material, sometimes leaning toward the R&B-informed boogaloo sound of the mid-'60s.

		The music here is exclusively traditional Ethiopian pentatonic melodies arranged in a new and creative style.
		Except for the wonderful Tizita, new names are given to the songs, which is misleading, since they are not original Astatke's compositions.
		I enjoy the quiter and slower arrangements, when you can hear the distinctive sound of the soloists.
