Big band de jazz basé à Boston, nominé aux Grammy Awards, Either/Orchestra se consacre au répertoire éthiopien depuis plusieurs années et a réalisé son rêve: un concert à Addis Ababa avec des invités ethiopiens prestigieux, dont Mulatu Astatqè (Ethiopiques 4, «Broken Flowers») et Gétatchèw Mekurya (Ethiopiques 14). Cet enregistrement rend bien compte de l'énergie et de l'émotion qui ont présidé à cette rencontre. Les arrangements particulèrement réussis et remarquablement interprétés par ces musiciens aventureux ne sont pas sans évoquer ceux de Gil Evans pour le «Sketch of Spain» de Miles Davis.




Russ Gershon and his Grammy-nominated Either/Orchestra have included many Ethiopian pieces into their repertoire in recent years. In January 2004, the Boston big band travelled to Addis for a dream-come-true concert featuring prestigious Ethiopian guests, among them Mulatu Astatqè (Ethiopiques 4, «Broken Flowers») and Gétatchèw Mekurya (Ethiopiques 14). This recording perfectly renders the energy and emotion of this gathering, with beautiful arrangements remarkably performed by excellent, adventurous musicians bringing to mind Gil Evans' band in Miles Davis' «Sketches of Spain».
