About this item

Getatchew Mekurya is probably the most revered veteran of Ethiopian saxophone. A real giant, both physically and musically. Not only is he at the very top level of Ethiopian saxophonists, but he is the 'inventor' of an extremely distinctive musical style.

I'm sure most Piccadilly Records customers have lapped up the Mulatu Astatke reissues over the last decade or so - now its time to get to know another legend of the Ethiopian jazz world!
