Not to | | discredit the way records are made in the present, but there is | | something uniquely special when a group of musicians get together in | | the same room and track some legit Ethiopian-jazz direct to two-inch | | tape utilizing the best microphones and gear available. Under the | | direction of engineer/producer, Kamal de Iruretagoyena Humphrey, this | | stellar group of multicultural musicians recorded in studio without | | headphones to optimize the intimate setting inspired by the spiritual | | jazz masterpieces: "Celestial Blues" by Gary Bartz and Joe | | Henderson's "Earth". | | | | These type of live recording sessions do have their obstacles. The | | legendary drummer, James Gadson, had to go in to the hospital the day | | before the session. Just before downbeat, master-percussionist, | | Kahlil Cummings, told the band that he had another session... that | | night! This is the life when working with such sought after | | musicians. The result of such brilliant chemistry is what you are | | about to listen to in Kibrom's Circles. | | | | Ethiopian-born Jazz musician Kibrom Birhane mixes Spiritual Jazz | | with Ethiopian Jazz motifs to create a unique and deep sound that | | resonates across many cultures and musical concepts. His | | understanding of Jazz and improvisation is unparalleled among Jazz | | artists in the world today. This understanding combined with a | | connection to the spirits creates a rich and diverse tapestry of | | sounds, ideas, and discoveries. Kibrom is a member of Los Angeles | | based Ethio-Cali group, that has included Jazz luminaries Kamasi | | Washington, Dexter Story, Mark De-Clive Lowe and many others. | | | | Musicians featured on this session are Ethio Cali bandmates: | | | | Randal Fisher - the wunderkind saxophonist raised in Los Angeles, | | who's big soulful sound compliments the likes of Aloe Blacc, Tony | | Allen, Meklit, Dexter Story's Wondem, and the Pan-Afrikan People's | | Arkestra. | | | | Kahlil Cummings - LA's master percussionist via Guinea attains | | talents so massive, he has worked with Kendrick Lamar, Kamasi | | Washington, Shakira, Pharrell Williams, Janelle Monae and Gwen | | Stefani while directing his own ensemble Extra-Ancestral and the all | | queen ensembled bateria, Bloco Obini. | | | | Nadav Peled is a recent addition to Los Angeles from Israel with | | well-versed African-Jazz guitar stylings showcased with Gili Yalo and | | Thalma de Freitas while leading his NY-based Anbessa Orchestra. | | | | Rounding out the ensemble are the Ethiopian bass-legend, Misgana | | Mulat, who has worked with the likes of Mahmoud Ahmed, Aster Awake, | | Tewodros Tadesse, Teddy Afro, Judith Hill, and Najee. | | | | On drums is the San Diego-based powerhouse Jake Najor who's deep, | | rhythmic pocket is sought out by Big Daddy Kane, TV On the Radio, | | Kelis, Raphael Saadiq, Breakestra, Connie Price and the Keystones, De | | La Soul, and many more. | | | | Adding to the mix, we find Kibrom's wife, the talented | | multi-instrumentalist, Etsegenet Mekonnen singing on "Circles." | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2020-=----------------------/__\--'
