the new mulatu astatke album dropped on strut records a couple weeks ago and it is a fantastic piece of work. mulatu steps ahead takes the father of eithojazz back to the direction he was taking in the late 1960's and early 1970's bringing together eithiopian modes with western jazz. you can listen to most the tracks on the album mini site or at strut records.
