Description:

Pioneer Works Swing (Live) Brings Into Focus The Kind Of Onstage Group Improvisation And Deadly Solo Passages That Reach For Places Mergia And The Band Have Never Gone, On Festival And Club Stages Across Four Continents. Now That Mergia Has Released Two New Recordings Along With Four Classic Reissues, He Is Eager To Let Everyone Hear What Heâ??s Been Doing On The Road Since He Re-Took The Global Stage For His Victory Laps. So Much More Than An Old Act From Yesteryear, Mergia Balances His Legendary Ethiopian Recordings With Good Old Fashioned Sweat-Soaked Live Concert Triumphs Such As The One We Have Here. Mergia And His Veteran Band Energetically And Playfully Unpeel Layer After Layer Of Harmonic And Rhythmic Interest Out Of A Spectrum Of Ethiopian Repertoire. Modern Jazz Demands Constant Reinvention And Improvisation, Night After Night Creating New Works Out Of Known Modes And Classic Standards. This Band Is Unstoppable When It Comes To Turning Age-Old Melodies (Like â??Tizitaâ? Or â??Anchihoye Leneâ?) Upside Down And Inside Out Until They Emerge As Molten New Works, Often Spontaneously. Mergiaâ??s Original Compositions (Like â??Yegle Neshâ?) Shine Brighter Than Ever Here As Well. Moving From Keyboard To Organ To Accordion To Melodica, He Deftly Switches Instrumentsâ??Often During The Same Song. Mergia At 77 Years Old Seems To Be Working Harder Than Musicians Half His Age. "Pioneer Works Swing" is available in the following configurations: - LP - CD - MC -
