Description

Title: Wejene Aola
Artist: Story, Dexter
Label: Soundway Records
Product Type: 7-INCH SINGLE
UPC: 5056032303355
Genre: Jazz

Limited seven inch vinyl pressing. For his next release on Soundway Records, Los Angeles-based Dexter Story hooks up with longtime friend and compatriot of music, saxophonist, jazz composer, producer and band-leader Kamasi Washington. A fierce, rumbling electro Ethio-funk groove provides the platform for an intense and powerful interplay between Washington on tenor sax and Todd Simon on trumpet. An instrumental cover version of Tilahun Gessesse's 1970s cut of the same name, it's Story's homage to the oppressed Oromo people of Southern Ethiopia. Backed on the flip by the one cut from Story's Wondem long-player that did not make it to vinyl when the LP version was cut, Nia Andrew's sublime and atmospheric collaboration on Eastern Prayer will keep all those happy who grumbled at it's exclusion from wax first time around. This is a record that no lover of Ethio-jazz, Afro-beat or funk should be excused for not owning.

Tracks:
1.1 Wejene Aola Ft Kamasi Washington
1.2 Eastern Prayer Ft Nia Andrews
