“At times hypnotic, at others just plain groovy, this music is<br />
completely centered on melody. Whether Ahmed is backed by fast<br />
riffing shuffles, cycling mid-tempo cascades, or dramatic legato<br />
atmospheres, he makes phrasing connections that work. Sometimes<br />
the band does some amazing things, too.” — All About Jazz<br />
“From the vaults of the Buda label comes a mesmerizing collection of<br />
tracks recorded in Ethiopia from the ’60s onwards that has until now<br />
been a secret of the cognoscenti. Ranging from dreamy blues to wild<br />
R&B, with jazz-style piano thrown in, the material is fascinating and<br />
addictive.” — The Independent<br />
“This latest edition in an excellent series that chronicles Ethiopian jazz<br />
and funk showcases the mesmerizing voice of Mahmoud Ahmed (who<br />
is also the focus of volumes six and seven). These recordings were cut<br />
in 1974, when he sounded in peak form. His Amharic croon soars above<br />
pugnacious horn lines, spacey keyboards, and swirling electric guitars.”<br />
