It's the greatness of Ethiopian contemporary music!!! MOGES HABTE is and will always be a legendary alto player ever revealed in the modern Ethiopian music scene. Thanks for Sharing this wonderful and highly memorable tape !!! Long live the golden generation of Ethiopian music !!!
Dear Moges, Good job! I specially like the improv part between 3:21 to 4:00, where you opened the chord to C#7 minor (I believe dorian to B), in the tenor sax (from Tizita C#minor) and quite cleverly came back to the main key. 1 of 2 (please see next message)
message 2 of 2 In fact, I have now memorized the lick and played it on my clarinet, if you don't mind...haha) To your experience, what other keys work effectively with the respective Ethiopian modes (5 or so) for improv purposes? And any other tips you can share, would be appreciated. Thanks, Zerihun (aspiring Jazz Clarinetist)
