Either/Orchestra: Live In Addis
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo splendido doppio album live documenta il naturale epilogo tra Russ Geshon e la musica etiope. Un amore iniziato nel 1988 con l'ascolto di un Long Playing di Mahmoud Ahmed e alimentatosi negli anni grazie alle riedizioni della collana Ethiopiques, curate da Francis Falceto.

by Budd Kopman
Live in Addis, the latest release by the Either/Orchestra, provides a superb example of the way Russ Gershon, E/O's founder and main composer/arranger, keeps the band fresh and exciting by always moving into new territory and never standing still. The path that led to this historic concert has already been described in these ...

by Brian P. Lonergan
A horn lover's paradise exists and it is Addis Ababa. At least, the Ethiopian capital was for one night in January 2004, when the American Either/Orchestra, a proponent of “Ethio-jazz, played a rousing concert at the city's third annual music festival. The fortunate result of that night, the two-CD Live in Addis, is ...
Either/Orchestra: Ethiopiques 20: Live in Addis
by Paul Olson
Here's to the wonders of recorded music and cultural exchange. Either/Orchestra leader Russ Gershon's encounter with the Blue Silver label's Ethiopian Groove album, a compilation of the seminal, brass-packed Ethiopian jazz/pop of the 1970s, led him to arrange some of its pieces as “The Ethiopian Suite. They were recorded by the E/O for the 1999 album ...
