2017 is here and so am I, give thanks! Looking forward to starting off the year playing here in Los Angeles with my EthioCali family. See you tonight at this new spot.

one vershun of this amazing group

Led by trumpeter, arranger, and composer Todd Simon, the Los Angeles-based Ethio-jazz ensemble’s sublime sound is inspired by the golden age of Ethiopian music of the 1960s and ‘70s, filtered through a lens that is uniquely Angeleno while simultaneously drawing inspiration from the rhythmic and melodic textures across Africa, Central/Latin America and the Caribbean. Ethio Cali continues their exploration of African Jazz in a special performance in The Sorting Room, while making connections with music across the globe, such as Colombia, Brazil and Java. 

Venue: LOVELACE STUDIO THEATER, TIX $30
