Buda Musique's mind-expanding
Ethiopiques
series—23 discs strong
and counting—is a
treasure trove of strange and
wonderful music, none more so
than that contained on
Negus Of Ethiopian
Sax, which is devoted to
tenor saxophonist Getatchew
Mekurya and his shellela
music. Unless you've already
had the good fortune to
encounter
Ethiopiques, it's
probably safe to say you won't
have heard anything like it
ever before. And almost as
safe to predict you will be
transfixed, transported and
hooked.
