    That's awfully nice of him to do. Maybe it's time for Asprin to do some direct digging?

    props on soundway records for releasing that mulatu 10'' a few days ago

    http://soundwayrecords.com/releases.cfm

    """Mulatu Astatke is perhaps the most important and influential musician to come out of Ethiopia in the second half of the twentieth century. His inspired synthesis of Jazz and Afro-Cuban styles with the ethereal musical traditions of his home country has produced a body of work that stands alone in the fields of spiritual jazz and soulful, meditative grooves. We are proud to present a 10??? EP containing a selection of rare tracks, originally issued on small run 45???s in Ethiopia and unavailable ever since. These tracks show the diversity of Mulatu???s music ??? running from heavy and driving funk, to Afro-Latin rhythms and deep and introspective jazz.

    You should come up to a Turning Point party, Andrew - that looks like a standard playlist above (originals, of course). I know Miles took much inspiration (especially on the Caribbean end) from the parties...in addition to my friend and I dealing/hipping him to tunes he's reissued.
